PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Vladimir Zenin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sigvard Engelbrekt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Zenin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Helloween - Power. Engelbrekt has chosen Imperiet - Var e vargen 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.
