PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Tero Rokka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alex Vargas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rokka's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Drowning Pool - Bodies. Vargas has chosen Heart of a Lion -- Kid Cudi as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
