PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ricky Icky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Max Casacci (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Icky might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Wrecking Ball. The crowd seem to be enjoying Casacci's choice of entrance music: Serpente by SUBSONICA. This should be a great matchup!
