PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roberto Hernando (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luke Kilpatrick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hernando might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to HaunTed . Kilpatrick has chosen Parkway Drive - Dark Days as his entrance music. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
