PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Frank Inator (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and AJ March (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Inator might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Snoop Dogg- Money. March is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Firm - Star Trekkin'. AJ March will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
