PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jack Calypso (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Damon Pierce (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Calypso might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jedi Mind Tricks - Genghis Khan . Pierce comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Eve 6 - Inside Out kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Damon Pierce has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
