Island Brawls 10 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Harti Kraus (ranked 6902 p4p, 256 weight class) and Ricky Martins (ranked 7569 p4p, 265 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kraus might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to New World Symphony 4th Movement. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Ricky Martins was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
