PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Frank Stein (ranked 1921 p4p, 270 weight class) and Leif Erikson (ranked 2415 p4p, 336 weight class). Stein's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Red - Falling Sky. Erikson has chosen Into Battle - Ensiferum 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?
