PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ted Zanik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kosta Gatsalov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Zanik might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Walk this way. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
