Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Anton Gardner (ranked 1008 p4p, 1303 weight class) and Augustin Cauchy (ranked 130 p4p, 168 weight class). Augustin Cauchy struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 267.8lbs 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. Augustin Cauchy looks lathargic as he enters the arena. Wake up son, you're about to have a fight!
