PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mick Dolan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shane Mosley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dolan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The worlds greatest. Mosley is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Rihanna's Live your Life. 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.
