PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Edmund Dorrance (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sparka Man (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dorrance might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Thou Shalt Always Kill. Sparka Man has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
