PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kjetil Olsen (ranked 7 p4p, 108 weight class) and Imperial Washington (ranked 3 p4p, 18 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Olsen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tubthumping by Chumbawamba. 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.
