CCF 228: Murphy vs. Ramirez 2 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Maester Ochu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Achilles Leonidas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Leonidas is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Best of Me. Maester Ochu had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.1lbs, 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. On his way into the cage it seems that Maester Ochu has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Maester Ochu seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Duck Tycoon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Koji Murosaki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tycoon might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rubber Ducky. Murosaki comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Now We Are Free kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Koji Murosaki struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.1lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Duck Tycoon looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
