PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Francesco Lucas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daryl Schillaci (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Schillaci has chosen War Machine By Kiss as his entrance music. Francesco Lucas looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
