PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chaikka Chai (ranked 769 p4p, 1220 weight class) and Musa Vitalik (ranked 110 p4p, 176 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Chai might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dead Man Walking. Vitalik has chosen Planet Purge - Midnight Tyrannosaurus & Ehide 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.
