Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Timo I Eat Iron (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Antoni Solovski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). I Eat Iron comes to the cage accompanied by Black Sabbath - Ironman. Timo I Eat Iron had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.3lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Timo I Eat Iron has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
