PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ovidio Kiran (ranked 136 p4p, 329 weight class) and Loratcho Bradock (ranked 21 p4p, 49 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kiran might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Katmandu. Bradock has chosen BRUNO MARTINI - LIVING ON THE OUTSIDE as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
