Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Miggery Sow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jebidiah Tayber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sow might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hall of Fame. Tayber has chosen Terravita - Adult Robot Kung Fu as his entrance music. 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.
