Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sara McSlamm (ranked 5494 p4p, 590 weight class) and Darrow Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sara McSlamm had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.9lbs, 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. Darrow Jackson has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
