Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tomasito Gonzalez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cormac McCarthy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McCarthy has chosen All Hope Is Gone - Slipknot as his entrance music. Tomasito Gonzalez had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.8lbs, 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
