PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Khalamedov Nurmagabeeb (ranked 1416 p4p, 164 weight class) and Ethan Sheehy (ranked 936 p4p, 110 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nurmagabeeb might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sabine Kors feat. Timaro - Dagestan (Remix). Sheehy is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Tree falls - Timber!. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Ethan Sheehy was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
