PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Noel Contemprato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sergei Dragunov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Contemprato might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Cats. Dragunov has chosen 2pac-Uppercut as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
