PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between George Kelly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yin Tao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kelly might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jedi Mind Tricks / Retaliation . The crowd seem to be enjoying Tao's choice of entrance music: Philip Bailey - Walking on the Chinese Wall. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
