PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jake Shields (ranked 4625 p4p, 5862 weight class) and Gregg Kopov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Shields might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Seven Nation Army. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
