PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Peter Parts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ares Constantinides (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Parts might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to call to prayer. Constantinides has chosen I stand alone as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
