EPL Season 2: Event 9 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hans Arne Georgsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Horst Linkke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Georgsen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to O Fortuna. Linkke is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Anamanaguchi - Helix Nebula. Linkke has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Horst Linkke has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
