PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Melvin Manhoef (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Colby Henderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Manhoef might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Killing In The Name. Henderson has chosen Waka Flocka Flame- Hard in The Paint 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!
