PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bong Ki Duk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ole Solseng (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ki Duk might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to north korea's national anthem. Solseng is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Mama Said Knock You Out. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
