PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ryfus Kelly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stalin Felipe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kelly kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Spaceboy. Felipe has chosen T-Swift as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
