PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Michal Filipowicz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ramses Xll (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Filipowicz's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Duran Duran - The Wild Boys . Xll comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Scarab - Ankh kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
