PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hrvoje Kovacevic (ranked 155 p4p, 425 weight class) and Jan Siuta (ranked 25 p4p, 57 weight class). Siuta comes into a darkened arena with his song building. "Rock Superstar" Cypress Hill kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
