PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Damon King (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). King comes into the arena with Evil Clown - Slapshock blaring out of the sound system. Damon King looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
