EVO 77: Silva vs Severn PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Charles Gunn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Namor McKenzie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gunn kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Audioslave - Exploder. McKenzie has chosen Man From Atlantis as his entrance music. Namor McKenzie 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!
