PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Yohan Francis (ranked 1337 p4p, 2047 weight class) and Lee Van Cleefe (ranked 170 p4p, 250 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Francis might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Andre Nickatine, Smoke Dope and Rap. Van Cleefe has chosen Classics - The Master (1984) TV series as his entrance music. This should be a great matchup!
