PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Thomas Boothe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dirk Harvath (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Boothe might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tyler The Creator - Yonkers. Dirk Harvath told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
