https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvUkrOCyGP4 Weight Class: Lightweight An exciting opening fight between former welterweight title challenger Rick Hawn (18-3) sees the fighter dropping back to middleweight, where he once lost a lightweight title bout to Michael Chandler. With lightweight having been shaken up thanks to Will Brooks and the departure of Eddie Alvarez, it's a chance for Hawn to get back in the title hunt, as he lost in his shot at the vacant welterweight bout in his last outing against Douglas Lima. Dave Jansen (19-2) is coming off a long layoff - his last win was in March 2013 against hot prospect Marcin Held, and he hasn't fought since. We're expecting this to go to decision and Hawn to get the nod as Jansen has some ring rust to shake off.
