PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Marcus Hansen (ranked 3516 p4p, 4322 weight class) and Max Payne (ranked 430 p4p, 506 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hansen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Black Sabbath - Iron Man. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
