PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jacques Don Pierre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Defer Taite (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Don Pierre might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Racionais Mc's A Vida Desafio. Taite has chosen The Days That Never Comes - Metallica as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
