PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pension Buckets (ranked 1667 p4p, 7501 weight class) and Pele Ronaldo (ranked 192 p4p, 549 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Buckets might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Candyman - Knockin' Boots. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
