PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Andrade (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roque Alexander (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Andrade might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to . The crowd seem to be enjoying Alexander's choice of entrance music: Changes - 2Pac. Roque Alexander has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
