PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Baeddan MacAuliffe (ranked 1424 p4p, 170 weight class) and Dong Uk (ranked 2066 p4p, 239 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think MacAuliffe might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Notorious by Duran Duran. Uk is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Bonobo - Prelude & Kiara. Dong Uk has the eye of the tiger tonight.
