PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Crazy Bastard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Tatum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bastard might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to soul survivor. Tatum has chosen Time to Play the Game as his entrance music. Crazy Bastard looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
