PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dionicio Pizarro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Elio Mohorovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pizarro comes to the cage accompanied by Globus - Europa (Instrumental Version) . Mohorovic has chosen Roots by Sepultura as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Elio Mohorovic 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!
