Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tyrone Watts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Tyson jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
