PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Charles Handly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy Brit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Handly might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to You Dropped a bomb on me. Brit is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Same in the End. Charles Handly could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Jimmy Brit's chin.
