PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Herlock Von Ryan (ranked 1005 p4p, 1247 weight class) and Dixon Ulster (ranked 146 p4p, 186 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Von Ryan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Crystal Method - Play For Real (Dirtyphonics Remix). Ulster is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Alternative Ulster/ Stiff Little Fingers. Dixon Ulster has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
