IC 47: Rampage vs Ruanti PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Nathaniel Clegg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gordon Lefleaur (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Clegg's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Il mercenario L'arena by Ennio Morricone. Lefleaur has chosen La Marseillaise as his entrance music. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
