PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kwiwan Fogomayu (ranked 489 p4p, 69 weight class) and Dick Army (ranked 312 p4p, 44 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fogomayu might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kyamadu. Army has chosen Vagina Coastguard as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
