PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bogdan Uzun (ranked 7439 p4p, 210 weight class) and Pound Land (ranked 8287 p4p, 218 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Uzun might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to "Trogdor the Burninator" by Strong Bad. Land is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Poundland.. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
