PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Pleas Honeywood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ron Jeremy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Honeywood might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Soul by the Pound. Jeremy has chosen Ol' Dirty Bastard - Shimmy Shimmy Ya as his entrance music. 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.
