PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mikael Lindel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jackson Taylor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lindel might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Clawfinger - Biggest & The Best . Taylor is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: New York - Empire state of mind. Jackson Taylor has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
