Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Deion Sanders (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jake Murray (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jake Murray struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.6lbs 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. Deion Sanders could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Jake Murray's chin.
