MFN 162: Away vs. Dogu PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Milton Blahyi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Galu Li (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Blahyi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Cowards by American Head Charge. 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.
