PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Panda Aorigele (ranked 154 p4p, 41 weight class) and Mantak Garuda (ranked 24 p4p, 5 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Aorigele might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Mama Said Knock You Out. The crowd seem to be enjoying Garuda's choice of entrance music: Djiin Djiin. 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?
