Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Paul Sight (ranked 894 p4p, 490 weight class) and Jami Jarr (ranked 129 p4p, 61 weight class). Jarr has chosen Wahhabi I as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
