PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Douglas Sampson (ranked 5 p4p, 8 weight class) and Kilo Maluga (ranked 2 p4p, 3 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sampson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sunshine (ft. Anthony Hamilton) - Twista . Maluga comes into a darkened arena with his song building. JUNGLE kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
