PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Steven Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eddie Daniels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Smith might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Time to Pretend- MGMT. Eddie Daniels told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
