PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Erick Stojnic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kolja Rapajic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stojnic kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Funeral. Rapajic has chosen ZOLTAN !!! as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
