Infinity: WNF 18 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Haukka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mikko Hovimaki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Haukka might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Samuel Barber - Adagio for Strings. 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.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Hugues De Payens (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Leach (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think De Payens might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rage against the machine - Bombtrack. The crowd seem to be enjoying Leach's choice of entrance music: Wiki - Wikispeaks. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
