PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Doc Thomas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alpha Male (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Thomas might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lunatic Fringe by Red Ryder. Male has chosen Rooster as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
