PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Thomas Hawk (ranked 644 p4p, 89 weight class) and Carlos Centurion (ranked 442 p4p, 65 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hawk might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Deadwood. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
