Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tyler Valor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ben Webster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Webster has chosen Run to the Hills by Iron Madien as his entrance music. Tyler Valor looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
