Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rae Fon (ranked 2818 p4p, 308 weight class) and Nelson Quinteros (ranked 830 p4p, 99 weight class). Rae Fon had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.2lbs, 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. Rae Fon has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
