PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lee Perry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus Crassus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Perry might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Run For Cover. The crowd seem to be enjoying Crassus's choice of entrance music: Rome. Marcus Crassus has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
