PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ares Constantinides (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Orville Redenbacher (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Constantinides's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, War by Judas Priest. Redenbacher has chosen Danger Zone as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
