IMMA 109: Glozman vs Torni 2 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Forrest Ortiz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tarmo Uusivirta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ortiz kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is 2Pac - All Eyes On Me. Uusivirta has chosen Moonsorrow - Huuto as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Tarmo Uusivirta was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Umberto Duran (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fedor Emelianenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Duran's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Hatebreed - Live for this. The crowd seem to be enjoying Emelianenko's choice of entrance music: Enea Vollare Mezzo. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Igor Glozman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lauri Torni (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Glozman might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to enae Volare Mezzo. Torni has chosen Gallowbraid - Ashen Eidolon as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Lauri Torni told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
