PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brian Van Dam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bjorn Kjellstrom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Van Dam might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to C R E A M By The Wu-Tang Clan. Bjorn Kjellstrom has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
