PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between White Rain (ranked 737 p4p, 1083 weight class) and Wilhelm Strauss (ranked 115 p4p, 154 weight class). Rain comes to the cage accompanied by For Heavy Metal we will die!. Strauss is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Root Of All Evil. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
