PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hank Johnstone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Death Row (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Johnstone might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hardrock Hallelujah by Lordi. Row has chosen Who Da Champion as his entrance music. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
