PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Garrett Smythe (ranked 1961 p4p, 2579 weight class) and Pudd Nelson (ranked 300 p4p, 366 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Smythe might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Chairman's Intent: Action Bronson. The crowd seem to be enjoying Nelson's choice of entrance music: Desperado - Eagles. 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.
