Kings of Rio 38 - Hallow's Eve PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Helio Machado (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Europha Emanuel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Machado's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Mindless Self Indulgence - Bitches. The crowd seem to be enjoying Emanuel's choice of entrance music: Jump Around - House of Pain. 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 Europha Emanuel was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Victor Gregorivich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pikku Myy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gregorivich kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is The Pot. The crowd seem to be enjoying Myy's choice of entrance music: Benny Törnroos - Käy Muumilaaksoon. 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.
