PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dementri Viscount (ranked 2556 p4p, 307 weight class) and Paul Starker (ranked 2401 p4p, 287 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Viscount might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kool Keith - Still the Best. Starker has chosen Catrin O'Neill - Ar Lan Y Mor as his entrance music. Paul Starker has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
