Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Chris Meredith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Don Taco (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Meredith kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Four Kicks. Taco has chosen green hornet (al hirt) as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
