PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Fredrik White (ranked 1051 p4p, 2926 weight class) and Joey Williams (ranked 128 p4p, 336 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think White might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone. 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.
