PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Master Chuin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ash Campbell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chuin's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Remo WIlliams Theme. Campbell has chosen Sun Poison and Skin Cancer as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Master Chuin had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.3lbs, 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. 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.
