Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eric Ford (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Washington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ford's entrance music is For What It's Worth. A fine choice. Washington comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Forget you-Cee-Lo Green (Orginal version unedited) kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Jason Washington struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.3lbs 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. Jason Washington has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Eric Ford's chin.
