UVT: Wednesday Warriors PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jeff Blatt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chuck Simpson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Blatt's entrance music is you're going down- sick puppies. A fine choice. Simpson has chosen Devil on My Shoulder as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Charles Menezes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mizushima Muroi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Menezes might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Charlinho, o menino que só queria estudar - Hermes & Renato. The crowd seem to be enjoying Muroi's choice of entrance music: Get Out - Circa Survive. On his way into the cage it seems that Charles Menezes has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Charles Menezes seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bud Macintosh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vinicius Ramos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ramos has chosen The Killers - Somebody Told Me as his entrance music. 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 Vinicius Ramos was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Vinicius Ramos comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Ramos has outworked and out performed his opponent in all aspects of the game today. He was simply too good and the decision should be no more than a formality. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
