Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Furion The Project (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mason Stone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Furion The Project had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.8lbs, 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. Mason Stone is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
