PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Zhao Zhuo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johann Joensen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Zhuo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kung Fu You. Joensen is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Gasolina. 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.
