OFC 378: Montezuma vs Wyatt II PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Aloysius Wiremu (ranked 3085 p4p, 330 weight class) and Macaulay Culkin (ranked 18140 p4p, 615 weight class). Wiremu kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Billy Joel - The River of Dreams. Culkin has chosen Already Dead as his entrance music. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Juan Marfaker (ranked 747 p4p, 116 weight class) and Neil Gilas (ranked 919 p4p, 138 weight class). Gilas comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Remember The Name - Fort Minor kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Quetzal Montezuma (ranked 43 p4p, 2 weight class) and Koba Wyatt (ranked 171 p4p, 17 weight class). Montezuma's entrance music is The Mayan Predator. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Wyatt's choice of entrance music: Channel Zero. 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.
