PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sebastion Lynar (ranked 298 p4p, 2265 weight class) and Mehdi Kanaani (ranked 35 p4p, 237 weight class). Kanaani has chosen Dr. Dre ft. Snoop Dogg - Nuthin' But A G Thang as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Mehdi Kanaani struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 157.6lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
