Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jay Clear (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Magonn Morguss (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jay Clear had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.9lbs, 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. Magonn Morguss will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
