PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Kors Svardet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roger Pontare (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Svardet kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is "Relax" by Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Roger Pontare has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
