PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Husein Magomaevaboff (ranked 132 p4p, 615 weight class) and Herbert Kreischer (ranked 9 p4p, 36 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Magomaevaboff might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Shaolin of Dagestan. The crowd seem to be enjoying Kreischer's choice of entrance music: Bert Learns To Hip-Hop Dance To Post Malone. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
