Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Iye Shuman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luca Atalla (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Atalla has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Iye Shuman has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
