PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bartly Gorman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gabriel Gzrel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gorman might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Hours - Ali in the jungle. Gzrel has chosen Warriors Dance 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.
