PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Manuel Fistyrian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alvaro Morales (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fistyrian might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Metallica - Enter sandman. Morales is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Bad Romance!. 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.
