PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Levi Templeton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and G Unit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Templeton might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Mudvayne-Scream With Me. G Unit has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
