PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Anwar Hussin (ranked 2160 p4p, 3564 weight class) and Sakkie Bruinbrood (ranked 274 p4p, 407 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hussin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Shooting Stars ft. Toro y moi (Flume Cover). Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
