PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Broderick Hammerness (ranked 1476 p4p, 202 weight class) and Darius Jurevicious (ranked 3896 p4p, 467 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hammerness might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Man in the Mirror - Michael Jackson. Darius Jurevicious told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
