MFN 163: Kage vs. Chim PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jens Kylling (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrzej Rostowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kylling's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Agonoize - Bäng Bäng Goodbye . The crowd seem to be enjoying Rostowski's choice of entrance music: VITER - Marichka. 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 Andrzej Rostowski was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Frank Dux (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mahavir Ramanujam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dux comes into the arena with Bloodsport - Fight to Survive blaring out of the sound system. Ramanujam has chosen Shiva in Exile - Ha'nadi as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
