Ray's original opponent ends up backing out at the last minute, said he didn't want to face Ray.  Another fighter steps into the cage to replace the original opponent to take Ray on! 

Ray gets the win in under a minute with a flurry of blows and explosive strikes.

Bubba said, "Ray beat two opponents tonight...one mentally and the other physically!"

Bubba Pugh, Ray Sloan and Danny Lopez

Danny also fought last night.  His first MMA fight, he fought in the Amateur bouts and did an awesome job and was handling his opponent but ended up falling to a guillotine choke.

Danny will be back to the cage stronger and better as he gets more experience and continues to train hard!  This guy has potential!
