PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Wolfram Stelzer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ross Swann (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Stelzer might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Business Time. Swann has chosen Corey Hart - I Wear My Sunglasses At Night as his entrance music. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
