Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Barragan Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Servata (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson comes to the cage accompanied by Like A Boss. Barragan Jackson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.8lbs, 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.
