PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Demian Gaea (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Tony (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gaea might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to When I'm Gone (Remix). Tony is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: thugs cry breathing remix. Demian Gaea has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
