Dynasty 239 PBP Commentary

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between William Barker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sakke Somali (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Barker might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Way of the Fist - Five Finger Death Punch. Somali is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Sakke - Oonhan Suomalainen. William Barker could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Sakke Somali's chin.
