PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Thomas English (ranked 137 p4p, 614 weight class) and Julio Christ (ranked 11 p4p, 45 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think English might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Muffin Man. Thomas English could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Julio Christ's chin.
