PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Sander Sarik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Janek Kos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sarik kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kings Of Leon- Closer. Sander Sarik looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
