EFC 10: Russian Roullete PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ryan Nelson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michal Materla (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Materla is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Sobota - Do góry łeb. Ryan Nelson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 188.0lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Michal Materla is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.
