Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jeremy Tonal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lucas LaVey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tonal might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Mustasch - I hunt alone. LaVey has chosen Deicide - Scars of the Crucifix as his entrance music. Jeremy Tonal could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Lucas LaVey's chin.
