PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sean Dickinson (ranked 1537 p4p, 1114 weight class) and Dyami Yazzie (ranked 227 p4p, 154 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dickinson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Resurrection - Chris Travis. Yazzie has chosen A Tribe Called Red - Suplex as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
