PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Steve Simon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rocky Balboa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Simon might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Down With The Sickness. Steve Simon could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Rocky Balboa's chin.
