PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sergey Beznisko (ranked 429 p4p, 60 weight class) and Leif Erikson (ranked 882 p4p, 121 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Erikson 's choice of entrance music: Into Battle - Ensiferum. Leif Erikson told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
