PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Buster Napoleon (ranked 57 p4p, 5 weight class) and Brandon Vee (ranked 209 p4p, 25 weight class). Vee has chosen Da Mystery of Chessboxin by Wu-Tang Clan as his entrance music. 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.
