PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bed Intruder (ranked 47 p4p, 8 weight class) and Nick Shamrock (ranked 15 p4p, 3 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Intruder might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bed Intruder. Shamrock is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: One Winged Angel by The Black Mages. 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.
