PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alak Aksornpan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Romeo Bellanca (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Aksornpan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Thai National Anthem - "Phleng Chat Thai". Bellanca has chosen Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold as his entrance music. Alak Aksornpan could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Romeo Bellanca's chin.
