Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jhon Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Justin Hodges (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jones might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bloodwork. Justin Hodges will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
