PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alberto Lin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joao Alves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ontlogy. Alves has chosen Carl Orff - Carmina Burana - André Rieu's version as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
