PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Adrian Sterling (ranked 1401 p4p, 1988 weight class) and Paulie Greene (ranked 119 p4p, 165 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sterling might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Snake by Lil Keed. Greene has chosen Im Shipping Up To Boston as his entrance music. Paulie Greene has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
