PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ian Trumps (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrew Diotte (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Trumps might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jay Z - Money, Cash, Hoes. Diotte is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Cypress Hill - I Want 2 Get High. 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.
