PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Douglas Clark (ranked 2192 p4p, 2459 weight class) and Anastasios Ioannidis (ranked 250 p4p, 279 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Clark might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sweet Home Alabama. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
