PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Wolfgang Steuermann (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daouda Kaho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Steuermann kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ein Prosit. 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.
