PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jason Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Jerabek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jerabek has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Jason Smith is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
