PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Alexander Krush (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brian Watson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Krush might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pusha T- Pain. Watson has chosen Roll Right as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
