Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rene Vesque (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ernesto Guevara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rene Vesque had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.1lbs, 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. Ernesto Guevara has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
