Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Makres (ranked 712 p4p, 1404 weight class) and Jackson Storm (ranked 110 p4p, 197 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Makres might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to SABATON - Coat of Arms. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
