PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Phan Tran Le (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Santiago Colon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Le might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dukes of Hazard Theme Song - Waylon Jennings. Santiago Colon has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Phan Tran Le's chin.
