PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Negru Voda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and King Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Voda might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to ROA - Sonata in La Minor. The crowd seem to be enjoying Johnson's choice of entrance music: Johnny Cash - The Man Comes Around. Man, I cannot wait for this one!
