Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Michael Booker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zeca Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson has chosen Wait and Bleed as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
