PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Damo Bodhidharma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pekka Lipponen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lipponen is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Rainbow - Man on the Silver Mountain. 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.
