PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Roger Field (ranked 750 p4p, 583 weight class) and Aiko San (ranked 106 p4p, 87 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Field might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Eastbound and Down. Field has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Aiko San is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
