PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alkyoneus Pallene (ranked 3649 p4p, 3294 weight class) and Crucifix Hill (ranked 419 p4p, 378 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Pallene might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to All Star Chuck Taylors - Andre Nickatina. Crucifix Hill has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
