PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Binzo Binzo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hans Laudrup (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Binzo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hair of the Dog by Nazareth. Laudrup is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Zoo Station. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
