PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Stretch Armstrong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dwayne Tooreal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Armstrong might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Coal Chamber--Big Truck. The crowd seem to be enjoying Tooreal's choice of entrance music: Forever. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
