PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Benn Rotthwell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Russian Boy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rotthwell might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to U2 - Bloody sunday. Boy has chosen Миша Маваши - & 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.
