PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Matheo Rojas (ranked 3027 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aleksandr Candovski (ranked 3833 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rojas might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rodrigo Amarante - Tuyo (Narcos Theme Song) . Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
