PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Junichi Sasai (ranked 3120 p4p, 2750 weight class) and Greg Malayon (ranked 394 p4p, 354 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sasai might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I Love Trash. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
