OFC 314: Jah vs Wyatt II PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pierre Van Gogh (ranked 3871 p4p, 442 weight class) and Mark Avreli (ranked 5962 p4p, 644 weight class). Van Gogh's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Outro - By: M83. Avreli has chosen Миша Маваши - & 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.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Marlo Stanfield (ranked 608 p4p, 75 weight class) and Hector Camacho (ranked 377 p4p, 47 weight class). Stanfield comes to the cage accompanied by Legendary. Marlo Stanfield had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.6lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Both fighters really staring each other down here, as Hector Camacho enters the cage!
