PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brass Knuckles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Still (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Knuckles might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to One 24. The crowd seem to be enjoying Still's choice of entrance music: The Wire Season 4 Opening. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
