Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Reese Worthington (ranked 5181 p4p, 542 weight class) and Brad Page (ranked 4371 p4p, 471 weight class). Page has chosen Gertcha as his entrance music. Reese Worthington had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.3lbs, 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. Buckle up people - heeeeeeeeeere we go!
