SPNY 49: Hoya - Windfather 2 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Braulio Estima (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Randy Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Estima might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Amor do Sertão - Geraldinho Lins. Randy Jones will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bariga Cocainich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Kirk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cocainich comes to the cage accompanied by Будущее 9эт . 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 James Kirk was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roger De La Hoya (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Krayzor Windfather (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). De La Hoya kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kanye West - Clique ft. Big Sean & Jay-Z. Windfather has chosen All The Above as his entrance music. 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.
