PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Musan Zaintashara (ranked 2204 p4p, 2099 weight class) and Voltsz Diesel (ranked 323 p4p, 307 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Zaintashara might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Art of War. Diesel has chosen Outerspass - Frosty as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
