PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Chris Zyb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Orlin Fernandez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zyb's entrance music is "Battle" by Gangstarr. A fine choice. Orlin Fernandez told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
