OFC 157: Daniels vs Holmberg PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Alpa Chino (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Randy Orton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chino's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Legend Killer. Orton has chosen Voices as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Randy Orton struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.1lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Alpa Chino has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
