Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Evan Law (ranked 5392 p4p, 4324 weight class) and Bobby Jonker Jr (ranked 483 p4p, 435 weight class). Evan Law had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.3lbs, 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. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Bobby Jonker Jr was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
