PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between The Crew (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cyrus Black (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Black has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
