PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kameron Sweeney (ranked 2564 p4p, 881 weight class) and Zaurbek Temirbekovich (ranked 286 p4p, 114 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sweeney might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Eazy E - Boyz-n-the-Hood. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
