Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chico Lao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kimbo Slice (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kimbo Slice struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 266.1lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Chico Lao looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
