PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Lazarus Po (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Konrad Kristofferson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Po might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tribal Seeds- Vampire. Konrad Kristofferson told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
