PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Malietoa Feti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Davor Langerholc (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Feti's entrance music is Testament - Ride. A fine choice. Langerholc has chosen Hypocrisy - Fractured Millennium as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Malietoa Feti has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
