PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Van Damme (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dave Yoma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Damme might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fight to Survive. Dave Yoma has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
