PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Max Power (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tonton Hong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Power might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Method Man, Redman - Da Rockwilder. Hong has chosen Hong Entrance Song as his entrance music. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
