PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Anatoliy Lapikov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cyprien Noe Cyr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lapikov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to AC/DC - Hells Bells . The crowd seem to be enjoying Cyr's choice of entrance music: Frog Song. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
