PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Brent Celek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vladimir Valkov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Celek might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to 40 oz. Valkov is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by A Day Late by Anberlin. Brent Celek has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
