PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Luka Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrei Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lee might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kung Fu Fighting. The crowd seem to be enjoying Sanchez's choice of entrance music: National Anthem. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
