Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Craig Patton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Olav Klint (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Patton comes into the arena with Powerful Beyond Measure blaring out of the sound system. Craig Patton had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 137.0lbs, 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.
