PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jean-Claude Marceau (ranked 2 p4p, 83 weight class) and Wilfredo Wild (ranked 1 p4p, 12 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Marceau might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Feist - Tout Doucement. Wild has chosen Cypress Hill - Trouble as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
