PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Runar Soegaard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anderson Lennokkiliima (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Soegaard comes to the cage accompanied by Final countdown. Anderson Lennokkiliima struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 187.3lbs 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. 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 Anderson Lennokkiliima was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
