PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Vadim Fjodor Fedja Koroma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Easton West (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Koroma might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Antti Tuisku - Ei Aikaa. West is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Stick To Your Guns - Against Them All. Easton West will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
