PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alberto Del Rio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arizona Reed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Del Rio might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Requiem for a dream. Arizona Reed told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
