PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mohammed Kahn (ranked 3 p4p, 18 weight class) and Joosep L�hmus (ranked 1 p4p, 4 weight class). Kahn comes into the arena with كارتل مدان blaring out of the sound system. L�hmus has chosen Amon Amarth - The Way of Vikings as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
