PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Oswaldo Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeff Spicoli (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sanchez might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to In The Ghetto - By Elvis Presley. Spicoli has chosen Wipe Out as his entrance music. 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.
