PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Iko Morrowind (ranked 1867 p4p, 192 weight class) and Scott Watt (ranked 2161 p4p, 222 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Morrowind might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Foggy Dew. The crowd seem to be enjoying Watt's choice of entrance music: Edmund Fitzgerald. Iko Morrowind could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Scott Watt's chin.
