PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Clyde Renato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rodrigo Oliveira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Renato might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to "Radio Video" by System of a Down. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
