PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between John Burza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jamal Jordan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Burza might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Metallica - Enter Sandman. Jordan has chosen Vamos as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
