PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between JR Adams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Silent Bob (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Adams might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to 'Looking For The Stone' by Dry Branch Fire Squad. Silent Bob has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
