Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tenzin Tsering (ranked 2291 p4p, 3369 weight class) and Baba Timone (ranked 148 p4p, 194 weight class). Chooooooooon!

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.
