PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Collin Teator (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Afro Samurai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Samurai has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Collin Teator looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
