PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Quentin Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gregores Mendez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jackson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Swizz Beatz "It's Me snitches". Gregores Mendez is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
