Teodoras is fun. Both are legit. Bad commentary already. Daron is at least trying. Guy he's with? Christ. He sounds so bored and his lack of knowledge is already so evident. They had such a winning formula with Mauro, man.

Sheena may not have the best record, but MMA is her passion and she does a lot of good for the sport in Michigan.

This next fight has me all sorts of hype. Kitaoka vs. Yachi. Oh my gawwwwd. Should be interesting having Cruickshank on commentary here. Both of these guys coming off wins over him.
