PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Elijah Pitakaka (ranked 2982 p4p, 401 weight class) and Aristotle Nicomachus (ranked 2748 p4p, 377 weight class). Pitakaka's entrance music is my dick. A fine choice. Nicomachus has chosen Drake - Trophies as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
