MLF - 35 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tony Jax (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cory Deegan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jax might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Immortal Technique - The Rebel. The crowd seem to be enjoying Deegan's choice of entrance music: Land of Confusion. Cory Deegan has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kevin Love (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vadim Vadokowich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Love kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Afterworld. Vadokowich has chosen Metallica - Enter Sandman as his entrance music. Love has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vincent Vinetto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joost Van De Wolf Keizer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!
