Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joey Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bob Sinclair (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Pantera - Cowboys from Hell. Joey Jackson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 207.2lbs, 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. Bob Sinclair is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
