Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Horatio Jacobs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Virgil Mays (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jacobs might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Green River - CCR. Mays has chosen Wretches & Kings as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
