ALPHA-1: Interlude PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ramon Carlos (ranked 994 p4p, 1243 weight class) and Kim Kitsuragi (ranked 109 p4p, 136 weight class). Kitsuragi has chosen Mars Simula - Chevelle as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Kim Kitsuragi was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Don Bronson (ranked 698 p4p, 561 weight class) and Heribert Bosch (ranked 109 p4p, 86 weight class). Bronson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Glass Candy. Bosch has chosen Oktoberfest 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?
