PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Maximus Decimus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zeferino Magalhaes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Decimus might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to All Shall Perish- Eradication. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
