PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Howard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lisandro Licha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Howard might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Manafest - Fire In The Kitchen. Licha is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: In Bloom. John Howard has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
