PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Manvel Gamburyan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Willis McGenessy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gamburyan's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Gamburyan vs. Brown on April 24th. The crowd seem to be enjoying McGenessy's choice of entrance music: Punch Out!!!. 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.
