PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Clive Churchill (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Project XxX (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Churchill might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Australian National Anthem . XxX has chosen Thomas Silversteins Words as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
