Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tarzan Taborda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leonard Stam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Taborda might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to New Noise by Refused. Stam has chosen Tony Iommi - Grace 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.
