Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Luther Jackson (ranked 1613 p4p, 1249 weight class) and Augusto Pinochet (ranked 214 p4p, 171 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jackson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Would by Alice in Chains. Pinochet comes into a darkened arena with his song building. I Need a Pinochet kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Augusto Pinochet struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.0lbs 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
