PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Warren Adams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Antti Hirvi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Adams kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bang Your Head. 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.
