PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jake Shields (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Kruger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Shields might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to David Guetta - Titanium. The crowd seem to be enjoying Kruger's choice of entrance music: Tnt. Jake Shields has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
