Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cesar Areza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Whoop Rico kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
