PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zbermat Serlal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stephan Evurts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Serlal comes into the arena with Mortal Kombat blaring out of the sound system. Evurts is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Welcome to the Jungle. 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.
