PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andreas Svensson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leonard Gonzalez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Svensson's entrance music is Wrath by Nasum. A fine choice. Andreas Svensson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Leonard Gonzalez has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
