GC 500: King VS Ebert PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ameen Robertson (ranked 1385 p4p, 1270 weight class) and Devin Ecker (ranked 223 p4p, 205 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Robertson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Regulate - Nate Dogg & Warren G. Ecker has chosen Right Above It as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Ameen Robertson had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
