FCD 46: Sox vs Yuudai PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Brandon Silvestry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Doran Connell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Silvestry might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Street Fighter. The crowd seem to be enjoying Connell's choice of entrance music: Rob Kelly - Rockstar. 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.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Heero Yuy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carlos Santiago (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yuy kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Coma Black - Marilyn Manson. Santiago has chosen Get Em Up - Cypress Hill as his entrance music. 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?
