Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mason Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jim Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Anderson comes to the cage accompanied by Simon Says. Jim Jackson struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 187.9lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Jim Jackson told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
