PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rocky Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luther Price (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jones might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Welcome to the Terrordome. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
