PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Arya Reza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Adams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Reza might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fort minor - Remeber the NAME !. Adams has chosen When Worlds Collide as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. John Adams has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
