Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Fidel Gaspar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Not Enough (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fidel Gaspar had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.7lbs, 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. Not Enough has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
