PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mike Carter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tadeusz Moniuszko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Carter might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I made it- kevin rudolf. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Tadeusz Moniuszko was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
