Demolition 8 - TBA PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Eta Knox (ranked 956 p4p, 52 weight class) and Takayama Yataro (ranked 1180 p4p, 71 weight class). Knox kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is David Dallas | Runnin'. Yataro is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Misoji Misaki. 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 Takayama Yataro was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Liam James (ranked 608 p4p, 87 weight class) and Deviante Russell (ranked 925 p4p, 132 weight class). James kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Come To Daddy by Aphex Twin. 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 Deviante Russell was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between UberThor Hammerfall (ranked 73 p4p, 11 weight class) and Ross Kemp (ranked 193 p4p, 31 weight class). Kemp is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Ross Kemp is gonna bust you up. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
