PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Viktor Kulakov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gabriel Leissner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kulakov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Lube-Shparu. Leissner has chosen Mohammed's theme as his entrance music. Viktor Kulakov is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
