PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Leon Weber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jordan Shore (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Weber might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hamburg Anthem. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
