PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mike Edwards (ranked 4853 p4p, 5366 weight class) and Drater Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Edwards might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to LMFAO - Sexy and I Know It. Edwards has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Mike Edwards looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
