Epf 24: Wong vs Goode PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sean Franzen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sam Chen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Chen's choice of entrance music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjNAeELQ_Z8. Sean Franzen had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.5lbs, 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. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
