PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Masaru Midget (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Layne Staley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Midget might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to MC Hammer - U Can't Touch This. Staley is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Alice in Chains - No Excuses. 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.
