PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pauly Dee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Santos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dee might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Get Crazy-LMFAO. Santos is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Hate Me Now. Pauly Dee could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Matt Santos's chin.
