PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kai Hansen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Melbrooks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hansen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Gamma Ray - Land of the Free. Melbrooks has chosen Motorhead - Smiling like a killer as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
