PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shane Ellis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Drew Carvalho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ellis might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to his Ram Muay performance. Carvalho has chosen Slipknot- wait and bleed as his entrance music. Drew Carvalho is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.
