Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jake VanVactor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dexter Rutecki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). VanVactor kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Like a Pimp by David Banner. Rutecki is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Remember the Name. 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?
