RSE 69: PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Kelly Van Soest (ranked 5827 p4p, 4043 weight class) and Carl Crap (ranked 355 p4p, 280 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Van Soest might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Philipee Rochard - The World (Frequencerz Remix). Crap is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Morrowind. 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.
