PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Takeru Kyle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Maester Ochu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kyle might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I Like to Move It. Ochu is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Clutch - The Incomparable Mr. Flannery. Takeru Kyle has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
