PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Danny Tatko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and King Bass (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tatko's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, no Music. Danny Tatko looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
