Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Cung Le (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chad Slone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Slone has chosen In The Air Tonight as his entrance music. Cung Le had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.8lbs, 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. Chad Slone is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
