PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bleh Wha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arvydas Sabonis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wha might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Super Bon Bon - Soul Coughing. Sabonis has chosen James Brown - Superbad 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.
