VF 75: Sumrall v Nowak PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Murilo Satinho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jamie Coton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Satinho might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Professor Green - Monster. 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Jon Jonson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vartan Mamikonyan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jonson comes to the cage accompanied by bis das Blut gefriert. Mamikonyan has chosen True Armenian Hero 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?
