PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Brandon Sakuraba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vincent Maldonado (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Maldonado has chosen momma said knock you out as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Maldonado has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. The atmosphere really building for this one as we go over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
