PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mr Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrei Emelianenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brown might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to yes. Emelianenko is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: You are the best around. 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.
