PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Chong Harper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus Brooks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brooks has chosen Ante up Remix as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Brooks has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Marcus Brooks is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
