PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Juarez Hook (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Byeongsuk Kim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hook might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Enemy Guns. Kim has chosen Choi Hong Man-Beauty and the Beast as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Juarez Hook could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Byeongsuk Kim's chin.
