PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Phillip Barron (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Katt Mamma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Barron might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dizzee Rascal - Bonkers. Katt Mamma has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
