Coming up we have a super heavyweight Tycoon World Grappling Championship rules bout between Isiah Yesaya (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luis Ganador (ranked 17609 p4p, 0 weight class). Yesaya comes to the cage accompanied by Rivers of Babylon. Ganador has chosen We Will Rock You as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Ganador has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Luis Ganador was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
This TWGC bout is 1 fifteen minute round in the super heavyweight division. Introducing today's competitors. In the red corner, competing out of Helsinki, with a TWGC record of 1 wins and 1 losses; Isiah Yesaya! And in the blue corner, fighting out of London, with a TWGC record of 3 wins and 3 losses; Luis Ganador!
The judges for this bout are Percy O'Donnell, Frank Antenori and Don Winkell.
