MFN 350: Mangrove vs. Juravlev PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Mookie Magaba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nikolai Nation (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Magaba's entrance music is Three Days Grace - Animal I Have Become . A fine choice. Nikolai Nation struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 147.0lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Nikolai Nation was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
