MEMPHIS, Tenn. (Jan. 8, 2010) –Familiar foes Trip Carter and Chantein Waison, both from the Memphis area, will put their perfect records on the line Thursday Jan. 21 when they go toe-to-toe in V3 Fights’ latest mixed-martial-arts bout at Newby’s on Highland.
These two fast-rising stars in the amateur MMA circuit will be meeting in the ring for the first time, but there is already blood in the water.
