PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Dilon Goncalves (ranked 1231 p4p, 128 weight class) and Herbert Burns (ranked 3092 p4p, 273 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Goncalves might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to TAPOUT. The crowd seem to be enjoying Burns's choice of entrance music: Marcelo D2 Claudia - Desabafo Deixa Eu Dizer. Dilon Goncalves is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
