Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Przemyslaw Tur (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and William Blake (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Blake comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Dead Man kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Przemyslaw Tur had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.9lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Przemyslaw Tur could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to William Blake's chin.
