RC 58 - Nakki vs. Jokinen PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jean Claude Van Damme (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jonathan Lilja (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Van Damme kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Fight to Survive. Lilja is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by UK subs - Warhead. 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?
