TR12: FW GP ROUND 1 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Nathan Wallace (ranked 530 p4p, 63 weight class) and Jacque Joteel (ranked 579 p4p, 70 weight class). Wallace kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Time for some Aksion- Redman. Joteel has chosen Moogwalzer 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?
