PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ken Miller (ranked 1613 p4p, 91 weight class) and Edward Scissorhands (ranked 11421 p4p, 288 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Miller might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to 2pac - Im A Souljah. The crowd seem to be enjoying Scissorhands's choice of entrance music: Theme From Edward. 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.
