PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jamie Gold (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sid Taylor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gold might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ari Gold - Let's Hug It Out, BITCH. Taylor has chosen Bodies 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.
