PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Hal Jordan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Karl Denke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jordan's entrance music is Dawn of the Dead by Does it Offend you, yeah?. A fine choice. Denke has chosen Runnin With The Devil as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Karl Denke has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
