PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Puppy Love (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cristiano Nascimento (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Love might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Otherside by Mackemore X Ryan Lewis. Nascimento has chosen Symptom of The Universe (1975) as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
