PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Django Ripa (ranked 3005 p4p, 405 weight class) and Hark Munted (ranked 2669 p4p, 364 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ripa might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to American Woman. Django Ripa could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Hark Munted's chin.
