No Exit FC 44: Red Hands PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ivan Iberico (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Juan Gonzalez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gonzalez comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Entre Dos Aguas kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Ivan Iberico had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.4lbs, 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. Ivan Iberico could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Juan Gonzalez's chin.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Solo Green (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Christopher Eccleston (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Green might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jethro Tull. 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.
