PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andrei Vanica (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anselmi Hamara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vanica kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Muay Thai Classic. Hamara has chosen Ruoska - Kiroan 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.
