Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kingdom Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bob White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jackson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Darkthrone - Under a Funeral Moon. Kingdom Jackson could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Bob White's chin.
