PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between DeShaun Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and DJ Stenner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Johnson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Not Afraid. Stenner has chosen Escapado - Gezeichnet as his entrance music. DJ Stenner has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
