PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Raven LaCriox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Turbo Chimaera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think LaCriox might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to End of Everything by Steromud. Turbo Chimaera is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
