PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Soeren Lindstroem (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Martin Zaromskis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lindstroem's entrance music is Time is Tickin away. A fine choice. Zaromskis has chosen Black Box - Ride on Time 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.
