PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sinisa Veljko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rydolf Karel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Veljko's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Stemm - Face the pain. Karel has chosen Hail Czech as his entrance music. Rydolf Karel 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!
