PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cain Velasquez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Micheal Desmond (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Velasquez might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to dos santos vs velasquez. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
