SMASH: Hun vs Noeigati PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Mamed Khalidovic (ranked 857 p4p, 1376 weight class) and Rodri Yairguez (ranked 83 p4p, 126 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Khalidovic might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Зима-мама 25/17. Yairguez is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by El Corrido De Chihuahua - Los Rieleros Del Norte. On his way into the cage it seems that Mamed Khalidovic has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mamed Khalidovic seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
