PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rick Langley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Unitas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Langley might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to No More Heroes: Kill or Be Killed Mix. Rick Langley looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
