PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tupfama Mbamba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kublai Congo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mbamba might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Way I Feel. Congo has chosen Beds are Burning as his entrance music. Kublai Congo has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
