PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Valdo Calamari (ranked 32 p4p, 46 weight class) and Kronos Doomsday (ranked 4 p4p, 8 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Calamari might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bellini - Samba Do Brasil. Doomsday has chosen Main Theme - Doom Eternal as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
