PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Urijah Faber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wei Sun (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Faber kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Choke - Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. Wei Sun has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
