PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between NumbaOne Stunna (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frenchy Fuqua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Stunna might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bring The Pain. Fuqua has chosen Prodigy- Diesal Power as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
