PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hrvoje Kovacevic (ranked 199 p4p, 291 weight class) and Jan Siuta (ranked 24 p4p, 38 weight class). Siuta is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by "Rock Superstar" Cypress Hill. Jan Siuta told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
