PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Schlock Leznar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bett Rogers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Leznar might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Champ by Ghostface Killah. Rogers has chosen From Eminem to HWP 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.
