PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Colby Vaughn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sammy Depolito (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Vaughn might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to B-Boy by Tech N9ne. Sammy Depolito told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
