Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Tyson TapOut (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fedor Liddell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think TapOut might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bonkers- Dizzee Rascal and Amanda Van Helden. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
