PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Leif Erikson (ranked 909 p4p, 131 weight class) and Hank Lombard (ranked 911 p4p, 133 weight class). Erikson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Into Battle - Ensiferum. Lombard is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Shinedown - Sound Of Madness . 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?
