PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jorma Emelianenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ken Severn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Severn has chosen Slavonski becarac as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Severn has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! 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?
