Nfld 33 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Turd McPherson (ranked 3248 p4p, 3823 weight class) and Jonas Carvalho (ranked 332 p4p, 393 weight class). Turd McPherson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.3lbs, 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. 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?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Iron Side (ranked 948 p4p, 740 weight class) and Super Salajudin Ii (ranked 105 p4p, 84 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Side might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to In the Dark - Vintage Culture, Fancy Inc . Super Salajudin Ii has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Iron Side's chin.
