Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Gabriel Pfeifer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and The Manliest (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Manliest has chosen Ontlogy as his entrance music. Gabriel Pfeifer had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.3lbs, 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. Gabriel Pfeifer has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
