PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Quinn Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Rampage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Johnson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ice Cube - It Was a Dood Day. Quinn Johnson could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Mike Rampage's chin.
