PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mark Coleman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and SergiO Ortiz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Coleman might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Johnny Cash - Solitary Man. Ortiz is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: 300 Violin Orchestra - Jorge Quintero. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the ring.
