PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Milo Andrianakis (ranked 77 p4p, 107 weight class) and Keith Rodgers (ranked 8 p4p, 14 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Andrianakis might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Andy Milonakis Theme Song. Keith Rodgers has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
