PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Demian Sands (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anthony Roberson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sands might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Numbe Encore-Jay-z and Linkin Park. Roberson has chosen All the Above-Maino as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
