EMMA 18: Abigor vs. Wolfe PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Gota Yo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fusion Weapon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Pass Out. Weapon has chosen Run This Town Tonight as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Gota Yo had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.5lbs, 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. 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.
