Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arthur Dayne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tokamek Yeets (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dayne might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to South of Heaven. Yeets has chosen Nuclear Fusion as his entrance music. Arthur Dayne could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Tokamek Yeets's chin.
