Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kim Gauthier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kibbles Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Davis has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Kibbles Davis struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 172.8lbs 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. Man, I cannot wait for this one!
