PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Hong Li (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peter McCool (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Li might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Mars Volta - . McCool has chosen I'm Shipping Up to Boston as his entrance music. Hong Li could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Peter McCool's chin.
