PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Buster Norberg (ranked 1184 p4p, 478 weight class) and Tom Obama (ranked 152 p4p, 61 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Norberg might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Real American - Rick Derringer. Buster Norberg could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Tom Obama's chin.
