PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joosep L�hmus (ranked 21 p4p, 123 weight class) and Orlando Sanguinetti (ranked 4 p4p, 22 weight class). L�hmus kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Amon Amarth - The Way of Vikings. 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?
