Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tony Huge (ranked 4495 p4p, 356 weight class) and Tyrone Sparxx (ranked 1851 p4p, 185 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Sparxx's choice of entrance music: Thug Life - Lugz. 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?
