Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Slater Thomas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jesus Killam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thomas comes to the cage accompanied by "Fight Music" by D12. Slater Thomas had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.7lbs, 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
