PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ziggy Ozbourne (ranked 2243 p4p, 21750 weight class) and Gaizka Elizondo (ranked 282 p4p, 598 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ozbourne might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Crazy Train. The crowd seem to be enjoying Elizondo's choice of entrance music: Peewee Longway & Money Man - Ooowwweee. 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.
