PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jake Kilmster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Shaw (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kilmster might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Maylene & The Sons of Disaster - Darkest of Kin. Shaw has chosen Shangri-La as his entrance music. 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.
