PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sheldon Manloaf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Starrk Lobos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Manloaf might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Giant Steps by John Coltrane. Lobos has chosen Alfred Hitchcock Theme as his entrance music. Starrk Lobos will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
