PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ric Flores (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Geeves Armstrong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Flores might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Napalm & Erruption- In San Francisco. The crowd seem to be enjoying Armstrong's choice of entrance music: Kickstart My Heart. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
