Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tubbins Stewfis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eddie Duncan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stewfis comes to the cage accompanied by like a hurricane!. Tubbins Stewfis had real problems making weight for this fight.

The key to victory for Tubbins Stewfis has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
