Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Krystof Mckay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wrestle Mania (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wrestle Mania struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.7lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Wrestle Mania will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
