Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tiny Tyson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Two (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Two has chosen Strangle Hold as his entrance music. Tyson has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Mark Two is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
