PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Antonio Seivas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rj McLovin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Seivas might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Prince Of Darkness. McLovin is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Nas - Etherl. Antonio Seivas has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
