PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ray Zalinski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joseph Monferrand (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Zalinski might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to We Don't Need Another Hero. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
