PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marcus Monk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brent Huthe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Monk might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Master P - Heaven For A Gangsta. Huthe has chosen Rick Derringer - Real American 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.
