PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Chucky Kahn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcelo Garcia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kahn might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tibetan Song.2010.[ 21 ] 完玛三智.新歌. The crowd seem to be enjoying Garcia's choice of entrance music: call to prayer. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Marcelo Garcia was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
