This week on The RNC:
Matt “The Law” Lindland talked about the Rampage Jackson arrest and his Affliction fight with Fabio Negao, plus his future with the promotion. Matt was fast-and-loose, poking fun at his opponents’ name and making light of Rampage’s legal troubles in his own unique way. The Law certainly did not seem fazed with his fight so close.
