HMFL Fight Night 18 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jean Jean (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wrestling Beast (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Beast has chosen Sweet Child O'mine - Guns N' Roses as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jean Jean had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.0lbs, 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. The key to victory for Jean Jean has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Omar Little (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carlos Medranda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Little's entrance music is Snoop Dogg - Murder was the Case. A fine choice. Medranda has chosen Buck dich as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Carlos Medranda was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ogustivimus Amavimus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chubby Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Johnson has chosen I was made for loving you -by- Kiss as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Ogustivimus Amavimus has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ogustivimus Amavimus seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
