BFE 56: TUM II Semi-Finals PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Travis Greene (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vance Voltron (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Voltron has chosen Alice in Chains - Man in the Box as his entrance music. Travis Greene had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.2lbs, 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.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Colt Bragg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lex Luger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bragg kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is My My Misfire - The Sinatra. Luger has chosen Real American as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Colt Bragg has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Red Fox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brian Harvey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fox kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sanford and Son. Harvey has chosen E-17 "Deep" as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Red Fox has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Red Fox seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
