PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tyson Rex (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nino Abbas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rex might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Through The Fire And Flames by Dragonforce. Tyson Rex could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Nino Abbas's chin.
