PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tyaf Daeland Puno (ranked 57 p4p, 7 weight class) and Shi Fu Tu (ranked 108 p4p, 10 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Puno might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I'm a soldier - Tupac. Fu Tu is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Klendathu drop. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
