PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Gilles StPaul (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nigel Rhodes II (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think StPaul might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kashmir. Rhodes II is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: "Talk to Her" by Priestess. We have two fighters making their debuts here, so let's see who comes out of this one with their first professional victory.
