Death Squad 198:Barrett v Wiz PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Greg Dellaria (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Maggot King (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dellaria's entrance music is Kill or Become by CANNIBAL CORPSE. A fine choice. King has chosen IllEvilHater - Maniac Maggot 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 Maggot King was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tyson Gauge (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alojz Černư (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gauge kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Wiz Khalifa - Errday (ft. Juicy J). 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 Alojz Černư was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
