PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Paul Orndorf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sylwester Karwowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Orndorf might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to "Bodies" by Drowning Pool. Karwowski has chosen Metallica - Enter Sandman as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
