PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ray Mounds (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alister Knight (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mounds might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to "Automatic" by Less Than Jake. Alister Knight is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
