LKO Fight Night 2 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gunnther Martin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shinsuke Fujita (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Martin's entrance music is Terminator. A fine choice. Gunnther Martin had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.9lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Shinsuke Fujita has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Gunnther Martin's chin.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sterling Archer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and William Adama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Archer might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone . Sterling Archer could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to William Adama's chin.
