PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rolen Spliffs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Josie Jo Ford (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Spliffs might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ice Cube - Smoke Some Weed. Ford has chosen Mötley Crüe - Wild Side 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.
