PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jarrod Beard (ranked 2695 p4p, 1589 weight class) and Kurt Zweihander (ranked 291 p4p, 183 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Beard might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ladies Love Country Boys - Trace Adkins. 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.
