PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Shom Harnick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shuno Svensson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Svensson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Ison & Fille - Muevete (Spanska Flugan). 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.
