PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kaleb Phillips (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Duece Delta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Phillips comes into the arena with Enter Sandman blaring out of the sound system. Delta has chosen the tough guy song as his entrance music. Duece Delta 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!
