PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nicholas Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). James comes to the cage accompanied by NWO Wolfpack. Johnson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by On March The Saints. 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.
