PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Frankie Evans (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alex Lebedev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lebedev comes into a darkened arena with his song building. In Russia, Alex hammers you Hendo! kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Frankie Evans looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
