PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Chase Utley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rab Rehab (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Utley might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Paramore - Ignorance. Rehab is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by saturday nights alright for fighting. Chase Utley had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
