PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between John Thomas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Teppo Mansikka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Thomas might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Devil went down to Georgia. Mansikka has chosen Sattuu as his entrance music. Teppo Mansikka has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
