PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between David Currie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sinuhe Egyptian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Currie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Helmet - Just Another Victim. Egyptian has chosen Reckless Love -Romance as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
