PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Uri Boyka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Shrimp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Boyka might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Queen - I Want It All (extended version) . Shrimp is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by drowning pool-step up. Uri Boyka has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
