PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sinuhe Egyptian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tor Nansen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Egyptian's entrance music is Egyptian Entrance Song. A fine choice. Nansen has chosen The Prodigy - Thunder as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
