EVO 73: Narushima vs Grundy PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Theoran Fleury (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Tripper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fleury kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Drake - Pound Cake (featuring Jay Z). The crowd seem to be enjoying Tripper's choice of entrance music: Disturbed - Land Of Confusion. Jack Tripper has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Richard Nixon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Enzo Moretti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nixon might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Upsetters - Dread Lion. Moretti has chosen CHANGES as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
