PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ric Flair (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ray Fernandez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Flair might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Slayer - Reign In Blood. Fernandez is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Pantera "Walk". Ray Fernandez will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
