PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Arnfinn Nesset (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Van Damme (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nesset comes into the arena with Mohamed's theme tune blaring out of the sound system. Damme comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Fight to Survive kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Van Damme told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
