EFC 81: Williams vs. Dnoces PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Broyeur deRobinet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Revan Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). deRobinet's entrance music is God's Gonna Cut You Down. A fine choice. Revan Gracie struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.0lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. 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.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Miko Maia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roberto Garcia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Maia comes into the arena with Bulls on Parade blaring out of the sound system. Garcia comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Ballad Of A Dead Soulja kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Miko Maia has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Miko Maia seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
