PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Timur Umarov (ranked 1369 p4p, 180 weight class) and Tommy DeVito (ranked 873 p4p, 117 weight class). Umarov's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, 2Pac - When We Ride On Our Enemies. Tommy DeVito told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
