PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Clubber Lang (ranked 252 p4p, 990 weight class) and William S Burroughs (ranked 37 p4p, 131 weight class). Burroughs has chosen William S. Burroughs - A Thanksgiving Prayer 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.
