Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Janusz Gawrolek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robet Wyka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Janusz Gawrolek had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.4lbs, 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. Robet Wyka has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Janusz Gawrolek's chin.
