PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Storm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mao Zedong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Storm might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to AC/DC - Thunderstruck. Zedong is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: March Of The Volunteers . 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.
