Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tim Taylor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Botello (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Taylor might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to . Botello has chosen Candlekeep 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.
