PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rob Kardashian (ranked 530 p4p, 160 weight class) and Tomomi Tsuruta (ranked 76 p4p, 26 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kardashian might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Wu Tang Clan - Gravel Pit. Tomomi Tsuruta will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
