PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Paul Irwin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frontier Justice (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Irwin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to AC/DC - T.N.T. Justice comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Die for Metal kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
