PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mickey Mulligan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Drake Retso (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mulligan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Primus-- Wynonas big brown beaver. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
