PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dis Styxx (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joseph Mageramsky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Styxx might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Snoop Dogg: Gin & Juice. Dis Styxx looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
