PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zabit Samedov (ranked 3379 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Sanna (ranked 4002 p4p, 0 weight class). Samedov's entrance music is STVORE - Sgori. A fine choice. Sanna has chosen Survival - Andrew Jackson Jihad as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Michael Sanna told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!

Michael Sanna spoke after the fight, saying 'And I broke my promise on a very sharp rock
And I was possessed by something quite unfriendly
And I was haunted by a demon in my sleep
And that's how I learned how to survive
And I gave a beer to a bum that was drinking
And I gave some sauce to my bestest friend for cooking
And I gave water '.
