At UFC 76, MMATorch Betting Champion Tyson Kubas was able to successfully defend his title against Rich Boles. Now, Kubas will be looking to defend his title for the second time, this time against Eric "Egg Bert" Pim. Pim was the winner of the UFC 76 Playing with Money contest with a huge payout, one of the most impressive performances in the history of the contest. Kubas will need to step up his game against this formidable opponent.
