PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Kenny Hill (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Victor Frolov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hill might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Its Raining Men. Frolov has chosen Manowar - Holy War 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.
