Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Anthony Camacho (ranked 1966 p4p, 2309 weight class) and Thufir Hawat (ranked 258 p4p, 306 weight class). Anthony Camacho had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.1lbs, 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. Thufir Hawat acknowledges the crowd's support as he enters the cage.
