PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alexander Ivanovich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrew Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ivanovich might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rammstein - Sehnsucht. Andrew Jackson told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
