PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Lager Assassin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sigvard Aurelius (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Assassin kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is yes. Aurelius has chosen Marcia Carolus Rex 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.
