PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ricky Steamboat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rodrigo Medeiros (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Steamboat might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lorde - Tennis Court. Rodrigo Medeiros is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
