PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Francois Van Steyne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nikolay Capriotti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Van Steyne might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to When Angels Cry. Capriotti is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Immigrant Song - Karen O (feat. Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross). I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
