PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Anton Chigurh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Congo Ashantie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Chigurh might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kvelertak-Mjod. Ashantie is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Congo Ashanti. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
