PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between James Proudstar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zapp Brannigan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Proudstar might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to "Run to the hills" by Iron Maiden. Brannigan has chosen Jackyl -- The Lumberjack as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
