Kang Vs Fitzgibbon PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mick Lenny (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dennis Nilsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lenny kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Convoy. Nilsson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Zukyun Love by Mini Moni. 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?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hans Laudrup (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Chase (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Laudrup might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Zoo Station. Chase has chosen Bobcaygeon 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?
