PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between James Laurent (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rudi Loens (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Laurent might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction. Loens has chosen Rock You Real Hard as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
