PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Gabriel Dos Santos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Corey Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dos Santos might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to "This Is War" by Il Nino. Corey Thompson has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
