PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Salam Abdulrahim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Abdulrahim might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Brand Nubian - Allah U Akbar. Jack Jones will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
