PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dis Styxx (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brock Lesner (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. Lesner is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: down with the sickness. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
