PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ol Bastard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sub Position (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bastard might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Montivantion. Sub Position has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
