PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tristin Shonuck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jun Xian Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Shonuck might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down. Lee has chosen Europa by Globus 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.
