Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between El Chingon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Samuel Wilson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Samuel Wilson struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.2lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. El Chingon looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
