PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ivan Dulin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sunny Supernova (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dulin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Slipknot - Before I Forget. Supernova has chosen Karma Police as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
