Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Chris Meredith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rocky Serra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Meredith kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Four Kicks. Rocky Serra struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.5lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. The key to victory for Chris Meredith has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
