PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Mauricio Velasquez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yahweh Falwell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Velasquez might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Loonie - Balewala. Falwell has chosen Don't Stop Believing as his entrance music. Yahweh Falwell will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
