Tyler Freeland, stands at just 4'11" as he suffers from dwarfism, is ready to make his national debut when he steps into the cage for Bellator 155 in a prelim fight against Joe Hamilton (which you can catch on Spike TV at 9 p.m. ET).

Freeeland (3-0) has overcome his fair share of adversity throughout his career, and continues to overcome every hurdle that he faces, per MMAFighting.com:
"I ended up tearing my ACL, and I had surgery," Freeland said after returning from a four-year layoff. "And due to that surgery I had drop foot, where I can't raise my left foot. So I'm fighting with drop foot as well as my dwarfism. So, I just feel like I've been dealing with a whole, huge, different game. I took some time out to get my ACL healed up. I got back in the gym about a year-and-a-half ago, and then I finally made it back. Now I'm at Bellator."
Aptly nicknamed "Hulk Hands" for his enormous fists, Freeland will have his opportunity to finally break through when he steps onto the national stage.
And if he throws down anything like this one-punch knockout, he'll certainly make quite the impression.
