ROF 9 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Klayd Kol (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hlynur Skallagrimson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Skallagrimson has chosen Viđ spilum endalaust by Sigur Rós as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys are coming into the fight with injuries so let's see if that has a bearing on the fight. Klayd Kol looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
