PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Killian Hassan (ranked 7343 p4p, 6865 weight class) and Frank White (ranked 579 p4p, 556 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hassan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Enter Sandman. Frank White 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!
