PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Laverne Mazzola (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carl Jamison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mazzola might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Il Canto Degli Italiani. Jamison has chosen Smooth Criminal - Michael Jackson as his entrance music. Carl Jamison has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
