PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between snoork bananasplits (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeeves Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think bananasplits might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to On a boat -. The crowd seem to be enjoying Smith's choice of entrance music: God Save the Queen by The Sex Pistols. 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.
