PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Robbie Alcatraz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Edward Furlong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Alcatraz might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Ducky Boys - Break Me. Furlong has chosen Say it Ain't So 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.
