PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Foul Play (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Randy Slader (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Play might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Simon Says-Pharaohe Monche. Slader has chosen Pantera - Walk 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.
