| http://mmajunkie.com/news/22504/fight-path-with-notable-trainer-5-foot-tall-tyler-freeland-ready-for-tachi-debut.mmaTyler Freeland may have been born with hypochondroplasia, or dwarfism, but athletics have always been a part of the former high-school wrestler's life. Now, after a 15-6 amateur record and work with famed trainer Shawn Tompkins, he's ready to make his pro MMA debut at Friday's Tachi Palace Fights 8 event, which streams for free on MMAjunkie.com. Now, after 21 amateur fights (and a 15-6 record), Freeland is set to make his pro debut in a 145-pound fight against fellow Las Vegas resident Diego Melendez (0-0) at Friday's Tachi Palace Fights 8 event, which streams for free on MMAjunkie.com. It's a rematch of an earlier fight "Hulk Hands" lost by triangle-choke submission, a weakness for him because of his height. | |
