PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Russell Wallace (ranked 4419 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sven Hensen (ranked 4263 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wallace might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dust in the Wind. Hensen has chosen Soul Coughing - Super Bon Bon as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
