PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bala Bala (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adam Kraft (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bala might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tough at the top. The crowd seem to be enjoying Kraft's choice of entrance music: knock em dead (kid) by Motley Crue. Bala Bala is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
