Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Yves Marchant (ranked 2343 p4p, 2891 weight class) and Miko Toms (ranked 249 p4p, 293 weight class). Toms comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Quarentine Freestyle, bbno$ and Lentra kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Miko Toms struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 147.1lbs 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. Miko Toms told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
