PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ozzy McKane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Axl Rose (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McKane might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to SAIL - AWOLNATION. Rose has chosen You Could Be Mine as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
