Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Duncan Tyler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and August Jeaux Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tyler might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Run To The Hills. Jeaux Jr is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Gucci Mane - St. Brick. 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.
