Valhalla: Hilo 36 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ricky Fontaine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vaimaa Fatu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fontaine might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to P.S. Phuk You Too. 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Cole River (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Walters (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think River might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Creedence Clearwater Revival - Born On The Bayou. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
