PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jamal Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dominick Wickliffe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jones might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Still D.R.E. Wickliffe is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Slaughterhouse - Halos. Dominick Wickliffe is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
