PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Terrell Jones (ranked 3547 p4p, 400 weight class) and Corey Valentine (ranked 3991 p4p, 441 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jones might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Mama Said Knock You Out. Valentine has chosen Down Under as his entrance music. Corey Valentine will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
