Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Big Stack (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Tyson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stack comes to the cage accompanied by The Prodigy - Mindfields. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Jason Tyson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
