Round 2 - Week 4 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joey Karate (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Evander Tripp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Karate's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Keith Murray - Slap Somebody. Tripp has chosen Bad Company - The Nine as his entrance music. Karate is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. 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 super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Voitto Putkimies (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dalston Marley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Putkimies comes to the cage accompanied by Tik Tak - Heilutaan. Marley has chosen Kottonmouth Kings - Can Anybody Hear Me as his entrance music. Marley has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
