PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between John McClane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Heath Marcum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McClane might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jesus Built My Hotrod. McClane has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Heath Marcum 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!
