PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dustin Douglas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Don Marciano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Douglas might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to La La La - Snoop Lion. Marciano has chosen DEAD MAN'S GUN 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.
