Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Whorely Alvarez (ranked 4597 p4p, 445 weight class) and Gaga Gogo (ranked 5419 p4p, 493 weight class). Whorely Alvarez had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.3lbs, 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. Man, I cannot wait for this one!
