PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joe Ball (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and OneRound Sapp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ball might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hammer Smashed Face. Sapp has chosen bab sapp sucks after 10 seconds! 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.
