PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Roddy Piper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Karlsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Piper's entrance music is Real Men Wear Skirts. A fine choice. Karlsson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Mayhem. David Karlsson told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
