PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Juana Play (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rafael Vargas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Play might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lil Wayne ft Chamillionaire - Rockstar. Vargas is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by O ultimo dos moicanos. Juana Play has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
