Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jamezdin Shraf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyke Mitchell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Shraf might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to O.C. - time's up . Mitchell has chosen Ride The Lightning as his entrance music. 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?
