Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Joe Dudley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ashton Bell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Joe Dudley had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.3lbs, 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 will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
