PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Justice James (ranked 1627 p4p, 194 weight class) and Jesus Sanchez (ranked 902 p4p, 116 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think James might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to ... And Justice For All. Sanchez has chosen Duele El Carazon 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?
