PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Fredrik Persson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tom Watson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Persson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Johnny Cash - Rusty cage. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
