CWFL 253 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mario Matiss (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jackson Thomas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Matiss's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Ennio Morricone - The Ecstasy of Gold. Thomas has chosen Patroit's Anthem 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?
