PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Yo Mama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Grey Blanchard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Blanchard has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Grey Blanchard will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
