Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jason Strader (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jaxson Powers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Strader might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sick Puppies-You're Going Down. Powers has chosen "Chase That Feeling" by Hilltop Hoods as his entrance music. Jaxson Powers will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
