RC 99 - Xin vs. Rico II PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zero Udala (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mirko Filipovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Udala's entrance music is The Beach Boys - Wouldn't it be nice. A fine choice. Filipovic has chosen Wild Boys as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?

And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Uncle Rico.
I think Xin has won this one but let's see what the judges have to say. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 5 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Aleksei Zolotukhin scores the fight 48:47
Judge Valeri Chadov scores the fight 48:47
Judge Aleksandr Martynov scores the fight 48:47
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Ming Xin!
Ming Xin retains his middleweight title!
