PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Uri Gellar (ranked 1461 p4p, 185 weight class) and Devon Malcolm (ranked 890 p4p, 112 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gellar might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to James Randi exposes Uri Geller. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
