PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chris Fennessy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Franklin Orellana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fennessy kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Drowning Pool - Bodies. Orellana has chosen Black Betty as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Franklin Orellana has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
