PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between El Chupacabra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gareth Wilcox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). El Chupacabra 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. Gareth Wilcox has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with El Chupacabra's chin.
