IMMA 110: Chigurh vs Shakur 3 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Knarles Grunt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marshall Mathers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Grunt's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, BLUNT- The Iron Maiden. Mathers has chosen Superman as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Chan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Holden Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chan kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Survival of the Sickest by Saliva. Gracie has chosen Metallica Enter Sandman as his entrance music. Johnny Chan has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Henry Black (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shawn Kronburger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Black's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Dr Dre - The Next Episode . Kronburger comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Turn up kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between Anton Chigurh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Emeka Shakur (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Chigurh might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kvelertak-Mjod. Shakur has chosen Tatanka - Africa as his entrance music. Emeka Shakur has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
