PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Vinnie Capone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alex Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Capone might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Godfather Theme Song. Vinnie Capone could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Alex Johnson's chin.
