Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Paul Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carlos Barreto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Carlos Barreto struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.2lbs 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. Paul Jones has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
