PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Man Cage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kenny Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cage might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fire On The Mountain. The crowd seem to be enjoying Smith's choice of entrance music: For Whom The Bell Tolls. 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.
