PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jesus Sanchez (ranked 1018 p4p, 486 weight class) and Stoner Steve (ranked 157 p4p, 77 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sanchez might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Duele El Carazon. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
