PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Muhammad Amir Bhadela (ranked 1513 p4p, 923 weight class) and New Leaf (ranked 80 p4p, 52 weight class). Bhadela's entrance music is Combat Ready. A fine choice. Bhadela has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Muhammad Amir Bhadela looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
