PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Apollo Creed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryan Wylde (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Creed might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to James Brown - Living in America. Apollo Creed could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Ryan Wylde's chin.
