PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between John McGillicutty (ranked 7736 p4p, 648 weight class) and Pasha Mista (ranked 7908 p4p, 658 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McGillicutty might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Head Down. Mista is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Gopnik Dance. John McGillicutty has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
