PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ansgar Axelsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Puppy Love (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Axelsson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to one bourbon one scotch one beer. Love has chosen Otherside by Mackemore X Ryan Lewis as his entrance music. 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.
