PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hans Landa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Don Key (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Landa might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ich tu dir weh - Rammstein. Key has chosen EYELID - REGENERATE as his entrance music. Hans Landa has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
