PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mate Orsic (ranked 1271 p4p, 1329 weight class) and Patrick Mahomes (ranked 136 p4p, 144 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Orsic might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to KRS One - Rappaz R. N. Dainja. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
