PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between George Pierre (ranked 22003 p4p, 3542 weight class) and Luis Sanchez (ranked 256 p4p, 194 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Pierre might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to O Canada. Sanchez has chosen Kodak Black - Super Gremlin 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!
