Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tam Yu Tai (ranked 18 p4p, 176 weight class) and Gunner Bond (ranked 3 p4p, 29 weight class). Yu Tai kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Invincible Pole Fighter. 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?
