PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tommi Talentti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bryce Overton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Talentti might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Metallica - Ecstasy Of Gold. Overton is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Overkill - Elimination. Bryce Overton will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
