PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vitor Belfort (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and CS Lish (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lish comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Underdog - Kasabian kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Belfort has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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.
