TC 5 Maki vs Holmes Jr PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roman Gruzinsky (ranked 2881 p4p, 4465 weight class) and Levan Revazshvili (ranked 360 p4p, 512 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gruzinsky might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Overkill. Revazshvili is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Georgia National Anthem. 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 Levan Revazshvili was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Deacon Frost (ranked 484 p4p, 842 weight class) and Bryer McGuire (ranked 63 p4p, 102 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying McGuire's choice of entrance music: Simple Man - Lynyrd Skynyrd. 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.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mike Holmes Jr (ranked 578 p4p, 1137 weight class) and Keijo Maki (ranked 87 p4p, 161 weight class). Holmes Jr kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Red - Damage. 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.
