PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ralph McGuire Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Belzebob Creighton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McGuire Jr might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tom Petty - I Won't Back Down. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
