Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mac Chardy (ranked 3178 p4p, 2291 weight class) and Jerry Kerl (ranked 326 p4p, 256 weight class). Mac Chardy had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.9lbs, 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. Jerry Kerl has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
