Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Carlos Gonzalez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nero Zero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gonzalez comes to the cage accompanied by Send The Pain Below-Chevelle. Carlos Gonzalez had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.4lbs, 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. Carlos Gonzalez could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Nero Zero's chin.
