Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kaice Gunn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Derek Scarlatti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kaice Gunn had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.2lbs, 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. Derek Scarlatti has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
