Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Bing Ka Wong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jesus Martinez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wong might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Aegukka. Martinez has chosen Puya -- Sal Pa' Fuera as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Bing Ka Wong has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Bing Ka Wong seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

The fighters are pressed up against the cage, both looking to find a bit of space to work.
Paulsen working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle. Noriega doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position. Oh but Paulsen is tightening it up a little... Noriega has to be careful here... He's got his foot tucked under now, this looks tight! Noriega reacted too slowly and this one could be over in a matter of seconds! YES! Noriega taps out! Nice BJJ there by Paulsen!
