Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kelvin Stewart (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Blade Toorop (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Toorop is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Capsizing The Sea. Kelvin Stewart had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.8lbs, 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. Kelvin Stewart looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
