PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Nick Diaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jakub Muller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Diaz might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to This Is War. The crowd seem to be enjoying Muller's choice of entrance music: Nightwish - Amaranth. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
