PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Armas Ruutana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gabriel Tokito (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ruutana might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ennio Morricone - Man With A Harmonica. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
