PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Franz Beckenbauer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Putt Birdie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Beckenbauer might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Apaga mas não bate . Birdie has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
