PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bondye Viktorye (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Reggie Warren (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Viktorye's entrance music is O papai chego. A fine choice. Warren has chosen God's gonna cut you down by Jonny Cash as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. This should be a great matchup!
