PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Royston De Noteboom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tor Pellinore (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think De Noteboom might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rotting Christ - Snowing Still. Pellinore has chosen Alpha King as his entrance music. Tor Pellinore has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
