PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Derek Safo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brian Penn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Safo's entrance music is Up Your Speed by Sway DaSafo. A fine choice. Penn has chosen Go To Church as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. This should be a great matchup!
