PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Armand Hammer (ranked 868 p4p, 2160 weight class) and Death Minister (ranked 114 p4p, 262 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hammer might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hammer Time. Minister has chosen Rhapsody of Fire 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.
