Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between D Botwin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Wallace (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wallace has chosen Who shot Ya? as his entrance music. D Botwin had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.5lbs, 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. Chris Wallace is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
