BDU 121 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Slick Rick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Winston Gunn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rick's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Children's Story. The crowd seem to be enjoying Gunn's choice of entrance music: Highway of Heros-The Trews. 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.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Michael Benoit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Javier Ramirez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Benoit's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Praise. Ramirez has chosen D'Evils -- Jay Z as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Michael Benoit has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Michael Benoit seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Miller can't find room to land a body shot as Pequeno controls the action.
Pequeno is leaning against Miller and scores with a nice uppercut to the body.
And that's the end of the fight!
Joao Pequeno comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
I think Pequeno has won this one but let's see whether the judges agree with me. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Joao Pequeno!
Joao Pequeno is the new featherweight champion!
Joao Pequeno gave a mention to Canadian Fighter Clothing in his post fight interview. That will please them (and hopefully generate some sales).
