PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rodney Ang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bam Margera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ang might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to ACDC- Long Way To The Top. Margera comes into a darkened arena with his song building. ILL MIND OF HOPSIN 5 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.
