PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ban Ki Kim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Giovani Gomes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kim comes into the arena with Guns N' Roses: Welcome To The Jungle blaring out of the sound system. Giovani Gomes told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
