PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Frank Shank (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Elias Nielsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Shank might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sluggo - I Get Violent. Elias Nielsen is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
