Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ken Mic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jon Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Hi my name is kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Jon Jones struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 266.8lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Jon Jones will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
