Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jessi Reid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daniel Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson has chosen Can't be Touched by Roy Jones Jr as his entrance music. Jessi Reid had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.0lbs, 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. Daniel Jackson has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Jessi Reid's chin.
