PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Steel Adams (ranked 482 p4p, 162 weight class) and Alexander Lincoln (ranked 60 p4p, 19 weight class). Lincoln has chosen Sgt MacKenzie as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
