PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Thomas Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eirik Rivfader (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Johnson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Voodoo People. Johnson has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Thomas Johnson could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Eirik Rivfader's chin.
