PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Harvey Pekar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Remy LeBeau (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Pekar might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dead Joe, by The Birthday Party. Harvey Pekar could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Remy LeBeau's chin.
