Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Brian Hardy (ranked 2861 p4p, 299 weight class) and Daniel Mouwanga (ranked 2624 p4p, 282 weight class). Mouwanga has chosen Welcome to the Jungle as his entrance music. Brian Hardy had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.0lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
