OFC 182: Ang vs Margera II PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shuya Nanahara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Mack (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nanahara's entrance music is First Of The Year (Equinox). A fine choice. Mack has chosen Ships in the night-Mat Kearney as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Shuya Nanahara has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Shuya Nanahara seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rodney Ang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bam Margera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ang might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to ACDC- Long Way To The Top. Margera comes into a darkened arena with his song building. ILL MIND OF HOPSIN 5 kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
