PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Marcin Lewandowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wesley Sneijder (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lewandowski's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, The Clash - The Guns Of Brixton. Sneijder has chosen Pregador Luo - Bate Pesadão as his entrance music. 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.
