PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Darrel Petersen (ranked 876 p4p, 126 weight class) and Slade Wilson (ranked 896 p4p, 129 weight class). Wilson has chosen Hypnotize - The Notorious B.I.G. as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
