Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Galen Dall (ranked 187 p4p, 23 weight class) and Street Fighter (ranked 290 p4p, 34 weight class). Dall kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Red - Already Over. Fighter has chosen You Know How I Do It as his entrance music. Galen Dall could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Street Fighter's chin.
