Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jon Jones (ranked 3133 p4p, 345 weight class) and What Addams (ranked 3542 p4p, 376 weight class). Addams has chosen Family Vales as his entrance music. Jon Jones had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.1lbs, 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. What Addams has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
