PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sinuhe Egyptian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Also Zarathustra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Egyptian comes to the cage accompanied by Egyptian Entrance Song. Zarathustra has chosen Red Birds Will Fly Out Of The East And Destroy Paris In A Night as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
