PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bed Intruder (ranked 37 p4p, 6 weight class) and Max Barathian (ranked 318 p4p, 41 weight class). Intruder kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bed Intruder. Barathian has chosen Wardruna - Völuspá as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
