PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nino Blaze (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Abrams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Blaze might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pendulum - Slam. Abrams comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Kreator - Violent Revolution kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
