Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Rashad Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sevent Seagull (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jackson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Wu Tang - Triumph. Seagull has chosen Van Halen - Jump as his entrance music. Rashad Jackson has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
