PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jake Rejo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and D C Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rejo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ragin Fit. Jackson has chosen Real American as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
