IS - Fight Night 5 PBP Commentary

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Rick Dynamo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kenny Hill (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dynamo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sunrise (Here I Am) by Matt Davey feat. Kate Dowman. Hill comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Its Raining Men kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Kenny Hill struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 137.0lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Man, I cannot wait for this one!
