MFN 278: Olympic Finals PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Matthew Godbolt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lethal Larry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Godbolt kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Trenches by Pop Evil. Larry comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Promise Man kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.

Tweaking his own nipples that is.
