PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dwayne Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jon Lawal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Johnson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to If you smell what the rock is cookin'.... Lawal has chosen Chocolate Salty Balls as his entrance music. Jon Lawal will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
