Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Nico Carri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jorel Kulot (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jorel Kulot struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.3lbs 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. Nico Carri has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
