PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Rambaa Somdet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Schecter Engl (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Somdet might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Venom - " Nightmare " . Engl has chosen Trafalgar - Requiem for the Last King as his entrance music. 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.
