PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Johny Shadow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sam B Glenn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Shadow might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Johnny B. Goode. 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.
