Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ya Tsung (ranked 3252 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lashawn Davis (ranked 3024 p4p, 0 weight class). Davis has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Ya Tsung looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
