PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Mike Tyler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and TJ Marks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tyler's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Wrestling Machine. Mike Tyler had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.0lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. This should be a great matchup!
