SMASH: Nascimento vs Donovan PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ivan Draganov (ranked 1790 p4p, 1296 weight class) and Pablo Noriega (ranked 166 p4p, 116 weight class). Noriega has chosen MS-13 Mara Salvatrucha as his entrance music. Ivan Draganov had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.8lbs, 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. Ivan Draganov had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Time To Fight Wright (ranked 1293 p4p, 1129 weight class) and Leo Bosanac (ranked 178 p4p, 154 weight class). Bosanac has chosen Bobnoxious-Big Cannons 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?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Abubakar Camara (ranked 835 p4p, 373 weight class) and Oscar Gustafsson (ranked 100 p4p, 51 weight class). 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?
