PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sinan Yak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thomas Bannon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Yak might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Silahsiz Kuvvet - Sözlerim Silahim. Thomas Bannon 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!
