DUEL#135 Montezuma vs Rumble PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Lukas Hanak (ranked 1722 p4p, 203 weight class) and Head Coach (ranked 2035 p4p, 227 weight class). Hanak kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal. 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 Head Coach was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ingemar Anders (ranked 2081 p4p, 195 weight class) and Nino Brown (ranked 4129 p4p, 331 weight class). Anders's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Gods Son. Brown has chosen Yer Killin' Me- Remo Drive as his entrance music. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
