EMP Jodson vs Boaz PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Don Petersen (ranked 1453 p4p, 188 weight class) and Danny Wyadd (ranked 2436 p4p, 307 weight class). Petersen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is James Brown- Living in America. 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.
