PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Curtis Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fred White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jackson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I Get Money. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
