PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ivan Vanko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Don Quijote (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Vanko might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Oh No by Gogol Bordello. Quijote has chosen Mr.Kro Latin Bitches as his entrance music. This should be fireworks!
