PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Musta Laine (ranked 147 p4p, 27 weight class) and Alessandro Orsini (ranked 505 p4p, 77 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Laine might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Disturbed - Sound of Silence. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
