PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Furious George (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Giovani Castro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think George might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lamb of God - Descending. Giovani Castro has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
