In The Gym: "Rhino" Ready for WEC Defense

May 9, 2007

Saturday in Las Vegas, Doug Marshall (Pictures) makes his first defense of the WEC light heavyweight belt against Cincinnati's Justin McElfresh (Pictures).

The hard charging "Rhino" has quickly earned a brawler's reputation, which he hopes to put to good use against his challenger, a training partner for former UFC middleweight champion Rich Franklin (Pictures).

Sherdog Insider visited Marshall's Fresno, Calif. training camp, where he sparred hard and worked on his cardio for the scheduled five-round title fight.
