Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between DJ Cross (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Deshaun Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cross comes to the cage accompanied by French. DJ Cross had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.8lbs, 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. We have two fighters making their debuts here, so let's see who comes out of this one with their first professional victory.
