PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hugo Azevedo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daisuke Suzuki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Azevedo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I'm a Soldier, I'm a Fighter. Suzuki has chosen Stranglehold by Ted Nugent as his entrance music. Daisuke Suzuki has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
