ECFC 28 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Stan Bojan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johny Hendricks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bojan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Burn it Down. Hendricks has chosen $50 and a flask of crown as his entrance music. Johny Hendricks will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
