PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Marcus Clarke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ari Irving (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Clarke might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Van Canto - Wishmaster. Irving is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Thunder. Marcus Clarke has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
