PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Speedy Atkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Landen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Atkins might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to big in japan. Speedy Atkins is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
