Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bo Blacksmith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Bower (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Blacksmith might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to NWA. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
