PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between CT Turner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Turner comes to the cage accompanied by Throw it Up #2-Lil jon. CT Turner looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
