Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Joe Slaughter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Waldo Boss (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Joe Slaughter had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.9lbs, 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. Waldo Boss is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.
