Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shane Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Max Matthews (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rockford Knight (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shawn Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Knight might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Stars that Play with Laughing Sams Dice by Jimi Hendrix. Jackson has chosen Hustlin as his entrance music. 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.
