PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kevin Handelman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kiazer Soze (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Handelman might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Not Afraid. Soze has chosen Hot Dog Hot Dog Hot Diggety Dog as his entrance music. Kiazer Soze is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
