PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Marlon Worthy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Miggery Sow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Worthy might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Drop the world. Sow has chosen Master P 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.
