PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Henrik Hendriks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marek Pawlinski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hendriks might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Watch Out. Pawlinski is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Małolat - Nagapiłem sie. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
