PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ruiner Barnett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cro Copout (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barnett's entrance music is canceled forever 125. A fine choice. Copout has chosen you throw knee, i go home as his entrance music. Both these guys are coming into the fight with injuries so let's see if that has a bearing on the fight. 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.
