Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jon Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pablo Escobar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Escobar is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Dr. Kitch. Jon Jones had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.4lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Pablo Escobar is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
