PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between James Cook (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and William Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cook might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I kill cause I'm hungry- rob bailey . Lee is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Welcome to the Jungle by Guns and Roses. This should be a great matchup!
