Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lucious Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike McCord (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McCord has chosen "Violate You"- Chino Xl as his entrance music. Lucious Jackson looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
