PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Chanthaphone Southanouvong (ranked 1947 p4p, 671 weight class) and Leon Lentz (ranked 249 p4p, 88 weight class). Southanouvong's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Y-U- Smilin. Leon Lentz told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
