PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ivan Kamenev (ranked 426 p4p, 595 weight class) and Thorvald Nansen (ranked 56 p4p, 80 weight class). Nansen comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Benny Jamz - Torden 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.
