Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between David Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jake Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jackson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Roy Jones - Can't be touched. 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.
