Tim Means has been around for a long time and the two times he stepped into the Octagon, he took the fights on short notice. While he came up short in those contests, he had a full camp to prepare for fellow welterweight Ricky Rainey and it showed; “The Dirty Bird” tore apart Rainey (13-6) and stopped him in the first round.
Means (28-10-1) scored a powerful takedown early and brutalized his foe with punches from on top. “The Sniper” was unable too properly defend himself and eventually had to be rescued from referee Mark Smith, the end coming in just 78 seconds.
