PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Julz The Jackal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Phan Benjawan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think The Jackal might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Jackal. Benjawan has chosen It Comes and It Goes as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Phan Benjawan has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
