PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Marcel Martin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Thomas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Martin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to RAWR. Mark Thomas has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
