Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Slash Slingin (ranked 393 p4p, 1245 weight class) and Luis Pinto (ranked 60 p4p, 190 weight class). Slingin's entrance music is Addicted to Pain. A fine choice. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
