Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Luis Alberto Perez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Thomas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Perez might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hollywood Undead - Hear Me Now . Luis Alberto Perez had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.1lbs, 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.
