PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Omari Apinagewanwa (ranked 5650 p4p, 5727 weight class) and Rickard Forsberg (ranked 569 p4p, 573 weight class). Apinagewanwa kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Maurice A God - Lottery. Rickard Forsberg told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
