PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Alan Oro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rolle Johnsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Johnsen comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Black Sabbath - Snowblind kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Alan Oro looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
