Pride 27: Motivation PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Carlton Banks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Saku Thirtynine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Banks's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, It's Not Unusual. Thirtynine comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Speed 2 Remix by Tetsuya Komura kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
