PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Axl Horn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan ORourke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Horn might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bill Murray - by Sweatshop Union. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
