APF 9 - Vengeance PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marco Figueroa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alec Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Figueroa might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bring It Back Remix by Jae Millz feat. Fabolous , Jadakiss and Lil' Wayne. Jones is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Don't Stay. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
