PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Thomas Hawk (ranked 315 p4p, 36 weight class) and Aksel Stenger (ranked 529 p4p, 64 weight class). Hawk comes to the cage accompanied by Deadwood. Stenger has chosen Hit2face - Ain't it nice to get hit to the face? as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
