PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dan Walker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vaj Pounder (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Walker might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Will Smith vs Washed out - Summertime. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
