PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alfa Uros (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thomas Pinta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Uros might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dirty Diana. Pinta has chosen God Is an Astronaut - All Is Violent, All Is Bright as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
