PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Wango Tango (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thiago Muerte (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tango might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Super Bon Bon - Soul Coughing. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
