PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zoey Malone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Abe Goldman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Malone comes to the cage accompanied by Boy Named Sue - Johnny Cash. Zoey Malone looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
