SMASH: Mazziotti vs Juntta PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Dingleberry Jones (ranked 2030 p4p, 2387 weight class) and Walter Flanagan (ranked 238 p4p, 269 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jones might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hell Yeah. Flanagan is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Wizard . Walter Flanagan struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.2lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. 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.
