PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between SergiO Ortiz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ken Shoryu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ortiz might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tupac - Run Tha Streetz. The crowd seem to be enjoying Shoryu's choice of entrance music: Undertaking the Work of the Lord by Hatewire. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
