PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Blaze Hastings (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Knox Yodsenklai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hastings might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Blazin Hazen - Avarage Homeboy. Yodsenklai has chosen Traditional Wai Kru 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.
