PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Hobo Garrincha (ranked 144 p4p, 650 weight class) and Minerva Wulf (ranked 6 p4p, 51 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Garrincha might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Молодые ветра. Wulf comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Sanctus Dominus kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Hobo Garrincha could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Minerva Wulf's chin.
