Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ron Wood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Leroy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wood comes to the cage accompanied by Walk by Pantera. Leroy has chosen renegade as his entrance music. Ron Wood had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.5lbs, 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. Chris Leroy has the eye of the tiger tonight.
