PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Wangler (ranked 242 p4p, 34 weight class) and Anthony Johnson (ranked 1197 p4p, 170 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wangler might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Pogues - Sally Maclennane. Bobby Wangler is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
