PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Antti Atleetti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Herzog (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Atleetti might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Beyonce - Halo. Herzog has chosen Robert Tepper - No Easy Way Out as his entrance music. Chris Herzog has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
