PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Monty Fernandes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thomas Steiner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Steiner has chosen LIKE A STORM - Love the way you hate me as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
