Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Oliver Taquses (ranked 1143 p4p, 125 weight class) and Albert DeSalvo (ranked 3021 p4p, 293 weight class). DeSalvo has chosen Am I Evil? as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
