Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Fausto Carsara (ranked 1372 p4p, 174 weight class) and Teo Wolfie (ranked 4120 p4p, 418 weight class). Carsara comes to the cage accompanied by E'sord Luché. Fausto Carsara had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.5lbs, 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. Fausto Carsara has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
