Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between J Gay G (ranked 2822 p4p, 157 weight class) and Marcos Sanchez (ranked 22373 p4p, 319 weight class). Gay G comes to the cage accompanied by Down. J Gay G had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.9lbs, 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. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
