PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johnnie Rico (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Calaway (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rico might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Stricken by Disturbed. Calaway has chosen R.I.P. 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.
