PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rocco Marciano (ranked 192 p4p, 29 weight class) and Remy Valentine (ranked 288 p4p, 43 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Marciano might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to a shirt that reads, 'Giant Killer'. Valentine comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Man with the Harmonica by Ennio Morricone kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
