PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Mooses Gonzales (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Esa Akerlund (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gonzales's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Liehuva Liekinvarsi. Akerlund has chosen Rainer Friman - Valkeat vaunut as his entrance music. Gonzales is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
