PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kirk Lazarus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Lewis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lazarus might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Last Resort. Lewis is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Shut'Em Down. Kirk Lazarus could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Mike Lewis's chin.
