PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sinuhe Egyptian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Valdemar Friman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Egyptian might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Egyptian Entrance Song. The crowd seem to be enjoying Friman's choice of entrance music: Metallica - Damage Inc.. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
