PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jay Copeland (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zuese Zorro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Copeland might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Avenged Sevenfold-Beast and the Harlot. 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.
