PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jp Greywar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pablo Soriano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Greywar might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I'm a Catholic girl.... Soriano is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Bebot by The Black Eyed Peas. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
