Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tom Henke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Trey Washington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Washington has chosen Bomber Style - Aphrodite as his entrance music. Tom Henke had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.6lbs, 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. Trey Washington has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
