O.R.G PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Seamus Brady (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alf Histon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brady comes into the arena with Killer on the loose blaring out of the sound system. Histon is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Saliva - Ladies and Gentlemen. Brady is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. 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?
