PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Macho Fantastico (ranked 850 p4p, 2080 weight class) and Benny Darius (ranked 95 p4p, 204 weight class). Fantastico's entrance music is Macho. A fine choice. Darius has chosen In the Shadows - The Rasmus as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Man, I cannot wait for this one!
