PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between David Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mirko Kilipovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jones might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hoist the Colours. Kilipovic is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Guns N' Roses: Paradise City. 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.
