PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Viktor Krum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pablo Escobar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Krum might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Explosive by Bond. The crowd seem to be enjoying Escobar's choice of entrance music: KoRn En Vivo Mtv. 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.
