PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kimo Ovaska (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Glenshenkershan Guardado (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ovaska kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Big Balls by AC/DC. Guardado has chosen 2Pac feat Outlawz World Wide Mob Figgaz as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
