PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mayger Mayne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Happy Flowers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mayne might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Suikoden 2 OST (the entire thing). Flowers is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Wu Tang Clan - Tiger Style. Happy Flowers has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
