PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rung Thrym (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Davor Langerholc (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thrym's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, We Are - Hollywood Undead. The crowd seem to be enjoying Langerholc's choice of entrance music: Hypocrisy - Fractured Millennium. Davor Langerholc 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!
