PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ludko Struja (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Helm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Struja might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to HIJACK - THE BADMAN IS ROBBIN. Helm is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Spazzin - Gary Podunk. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
