PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jamal Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Giacomo Benvenuti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Benvenuti is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Black Eye Peas - Let's get retarded. 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.
