PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Clifton Von Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anatoliy Lapikov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Von Lee kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Day of Anger. Lapikov has chosen AC/DC - Hells Bells as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
