PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Brute Force (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexander Flex (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Force might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Here Comes The Pain. Flex has chosen "Champagne" - CAVO 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.
