PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sten Biller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robert De Noteboom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Biller might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lützenkirchen- Nutcracker. De Noteboom has chosen Erika - I Don't Know as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Sten Biller could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Robert De Noteboom's chin.
