PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Michel Colucci (ranked 860 p4p, 541 weight class) and Harry Winston (ranked 115 p4p, 75 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Colucci might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Drake ft Kanye - Glow. Winston has chosen The Lost Boy as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
