PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zmesan Borec (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thiago St Pierre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Borec's entrance music is Carl orff - o fortuna. A fine choice. St Pierre has chosen Rohff - Dirty House as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Thiago St Pierre will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
