PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Carl Brooks (ranked 1194 p4p, 138 weight class) and Danny Wood (ranked 1094 p4p, 131 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brooks might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Eminem - Phenomenal. Wood has chosen Notorious B.I.G - Hypnotyze as his entrance music. This should be a great matchup!
