Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Pablo Tesla (ranked 3708 p4p, 4335 weight class) and Weston Gilmore (ranked 238 p4p, 261 weight class). Pablo Tesla had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.0lbs, 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. Pablo Tesla could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Weston Gilmore's chin.
