PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Martin Louis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vasiliy Syrovatkin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Louis kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Stand up and Fight. The crowd seem to be enjoying Syrovatkin's choice of entrance music: Chris Clark - Herr Barr. 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.
