PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Chimpo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Bearinstein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Chimpo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to On The Darkside. Bearinstein has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible.
