SPNY 127: Atomi - Silva PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Lorenzo Dusante (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dutch McQueen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dusante comes to the cage accompanied by david dallas runnin. Lorenzo Dusante had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.5lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Dutch McQueen will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Alysian Karalis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Julio Madrigal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Karalis kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is High Hopes by Pink Floyd. Madrigal has chosen Lil Jon-Throw it Up as his entrance music. Julio Madrigal has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
