PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kyle Mortis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Julio Ramone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mortis might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Crush 'em by Megadeth. Ramone has chosen Shut Up as his entrance music. Kyle Mortis has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
