AD466: My precious PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tony Slevin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ueda Umanouke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Slevin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Metallica - Enter Sandman. Umanouke has chosen Kenji Kawai's Making of a Cyborg as his entrance music. 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.
