PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gary Simpson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brian Robbins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Simpson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Disturbed. Robbins has chosen Simple Man-Lynard Skynard as his entrance music. Brian Robbins is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
