Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Edgar Garcia Jr (ranked 2240 p4p, 2100 weight class) and Tater Salad (ranked 192 p4p, 179 weight class). Garcia Jr comes into the arena with “Still Tippin” blaring out of the sound system. Salad has chosen Tater Salad as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins.
