PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jesus Chico Grande (ranked 43 p4p, 5 weight class) and Shi Fu Tu (ranked 179 p4p, 23 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Grande might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dead By Dawn by Deicide . Fu Tu has chosen Klendathu drop 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.
