Euro Premier League: Event 12 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sumali Prasoetram (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ari Vanhala (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Prasoetram might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Way I Feel. Vanhala is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Bad Religion - Generator. 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?

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hans Arne Georgsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mauro Gomes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Georgsen comes to the cage accompanied by O Fortuna. Gomes has chosen Body Count - Necessary Evil as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
