PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between SeanPierre Cusela (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jalapeeeno Poltta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cusela might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Disturbed - Warrior. Poltta has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Jalapeeeno Poltta has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
