PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Craig White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Randall Flagg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think White might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Red Nose. The crowd seem to be enjoying Flagg's choice of entrance music: The Platters - Twilight Time. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
