Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rusty Shackelford (ranked 1993 p4p, 209 weight class) and Trevor Jones (ranked 2241 p4p, 224 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Shackelford might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Boomhauer - Dust in the Wind. Trevor Jones has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Rusty Shackelford's chin.
