PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mahmoud Denjat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johann Joensen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Denjat might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to U.S.A. National Anthem. Joensen has chosen Gasolina as his entrance music. Mahmoud Denjat has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
