PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Freddie Mercury (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tragic Visions (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mercury might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Imperial March (L.O.D. Rage Mix). Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
