Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kyle Lyle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Baby Huey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lyle comes into the arena with Father of the Wolf blaring out of the sound system. Huey is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Baby Huey - A change is going to come. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
