Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Remish Demarco (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ben Bigras (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Remish Demarco had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.7lbs, 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. Remish Demarco looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
