ONI 4 - Evolution PBP Commentary

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Takeshi Bross (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sassou ZuZu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bross kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Arthur Brown - Fire. Takeshi Bross had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.6lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
