PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Boris Orlov (ranked 830 p4p, 96 weight class) and Carl Kingston (ranked 299 p4p, 40 weight class). Orlov comes into the arena with K.A.B.O.S.H. - God Of War blaring out of the sound system. Kingston is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Creep - Radiohead . Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
