EPL4: Event One PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Anti Hero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jaska Raatikainen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hero might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dj Nosferatu - When Angels Cry. Raatikainen has chosen Are you dead yet as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Jaska Raatikainen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jake Ryan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Evander Holyshit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ryan comes to the cage accompanied by Girlfriend. Holyshit is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Lil Wayne- I feel like dying. The atmosphere really building for this one as we go over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
