Syn 464 - Wayne vs. Donowitz PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Doug Pattersson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gareth McCall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pattersson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Banana song Peel Banana. McCall has chosen Bobby Darin - Mack The Knife as his entrance music. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Abraham Donowitz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lil Wayne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Donowitz comes to the cage accompanied by JEW FLOW. Wayne has chosen Back Up In Yo Ass With The Resurrection as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
