PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Barney Rubble (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Timmy Smithy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rubble might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rage Against The Machine - No Shelter. Smithy is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Diabolic- Soldier's Logic. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
