PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Repe Sorsa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Boris Gregorovitsj (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sorsa kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Like a Bunny. Gregorovitsj has chosen Pink Panther Theme as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
