PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Big Zhang (ranked 3225 p4p, 2452 weight class) and Ryan Manning (ranked 177 p4p, 150 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Zhang might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Xue Hua Piao Piao. Manning has chosen 50 Cent - Many Men (Wish Death) as his entrance music. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
