PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Duncan Waters (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tangaroa Ngata (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Waters might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to THRU - THE DEATH RAY. The crowd seem to be enjoying Ngata's choice of entrance music: Soundcritters - Haka War Chant. Tangaroa Ngata is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
